Make a day of it….

Kingston-Upon-Hull, usually referred to simply as Hull, is a maritime city located on the north bank of the Humber - a tidal estuary that cuts through East from the North Sea. The town was founded in 1292 by Edward I as "Wyke-upon-Hull" and was fortified after receiving a royal charter in 1299. Hull remains an important port and busy commercial center for the region.

Hull has a rich and varied cultural offering with many things to see and do and was selected as the UK City of Culture for 2017. Here’s a few places you might want to visit:

Wilberforce House and the historic High Street No. 25 High Street, the birthplace of (Hull’s most famous son), is now a museum with interesting exhibits from the 18th and 19th centuries. Wilberforce was famous in his opposition to slavery, and the museum tells the story of the trans-Atlantic slave trade through to its abolition.

It’s also worth visiting No 23 and 24, two Georgian houses with fine examples of period furniture. Another wonderful old home is Maister House, a former merchant's home built in 1744 in late-Renaissance style with a Palladian style façade and beautiful wrought-iron banister. Also on the High Street is (No. 6), another restored merchant property from the same period.
