High Hunsley Circuit 25 MILE CIRCULAR WALK The High Hunsley Circuit 25 MILE CIRCULAR WALK The High Hunsley Circuit was devised in by the late Dennis Parker, former Chairman of the Beverley Group of the Ramblers’ Association. The route is easy to follow. From Walkington to Welton Wold Farm it incorporates a part of the route of the Beverley 20 walk (waymarked B20). The section from Brantingham to Hessleskew follows part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, waymarked with its distinctive acorn symbol. The entire route is shown on the Kingston upon Hull and Beverley OS Explorer Map 293 at 1:25,000 scale. The route can be walked as a challenge route in a single day or can be divided into two or three linear sections. It can be started at any point and walked in either direction. Short detours can be made to a number of attractive nearby villages, most of which have a pub and/or tea-room. Several of them are served by hourly bus services. To obtain an A3 leaflet with a sketch map, and further information about the badge, details of useful bus routes , car parking and places of interest close to the route, please send s.a.e. to David Court, 3 Fairview Close,Beverley,HU17 7DE, Beverley, East Yorkshire HU17 7DX, Tel: 01482 871703, email [email protected] Route description Section 1 Clockwise from Bishop Burton Pond to York Grounds From the bus stop opposite the village pond, cross over and take the minor road to the right hand side of the pond which bears round to the right passing School Green. Up to the left is the little church with its squat tower. The road is delightfully named Puddingate. You will pass the Wesleyan chapel on your left. At the western end of the village pond note the millennium stone, marking the site of the old wash dyke. The engraving on it shows a scene of former village life. At the T junction, turn left. Continue in a southerly direction along a pleasant minor road with wide verges for about 1km. The road starts to go gradually uphill and reaches a T junction at the brow of the hill. Turn left along quite a busy road (signposted to Beverley) for about 300m then turn right at the public footpath sign on the right. Take the grassy path to the right of the hedge along the field edge. Ahead to the right the outskirts of Walkington come into view. The path emerges on a back road. Turn left and follow the road as it bears right towards a pretty white clock tower. At the next T junction, turn right onto Northgate and continue down towards the village centre. When you reach the main street of the village, cross the road and take Kirk Lane, opposite the Dog and Duck pub. At the top of Kirk Lane, turn left onto Little Weighton Road. At the end of this road, continue in an easterly direction on the footpath, passing the cemetery on your left. About 100m along the path, look out for a narrow footpath going off to the right. Passing farm buildings on the right, continue through a kissing gate and continue in the same direction to a stile. Now bear diagonally right across parkland. The route then bears left at the far end and passes through a gap between the wood on your left and the hedge on your right. Go gently uphill to the top right hand corner of the pasture. Go through a kissing gate and turn right onto a farm track. The track bears left then right alongside a hedge then emerges onto a metalled farm road. Turn left and follow the farm road up the hill. Continue towards the brow of the hill, passing Risby Park Farm. When the track bears right, continue straight ahead on the bridleway, disregarding a diagonal path signposted to your left. The track leads gently uphill and emerges onto a minor road near the brow of the hill where you turn left towards Risby. Look out for an information board on the left hand side of the road giving information about the medieval village and large house which once stood here and was visited by Henry VIII. Just opposite the information board, turn right onto the footpath. The path goes up the right hand side of the field. At the top, it bears left and continues round the field. Watch out for a gap in the hedge about a third of the way along the top of the field. Pass through and turn right, heading towards a line of pylons. On your left, Skidby Mill comes into view. The path goes along the left hand side of the field. As you approach Skidby, looking ahead and slightly left, the two towers of the Humber Bridge come into sight. As you reach the line of pylons, the path bears left and then right to join the Little Weighton Road. Go straight ahead down the road, passing bungalows on your left. Cross with care at the road junction and turn right onto Riplingham Road (unless you wish to detour into the village for refreshments at the pub or a visit to Skidby Mill). Continue along the Riplingham road to the end of the village, passing a small cemetery on the left. Ignore the footpath sign to the left and carry straight on through an avenue of trees. At the next junction by Westfield Farm continue on in the same westerly direction towards a railway bridge ahead. About 50m beyond the railway bridge, ignore the bridleway to the left and carry straight on along the wide track towards the most distant pylon. The track becomes more grassy, continuing uphill in the same direction. Just before the pylons, do not follow the track which bears sharp right but continue straight on on the grassy path at the bottom of a field to the right of a hedge. The line of pylons is now on your left. Before the end of the field, below the brow of the hill, turn left at the footpath junction before the small wood and take the bridleway up to the left. From here there is a good view back towards Skidby and the Mill on the horizon. Walk up the side of the field with the hedge on your left. On the skyline to your left, the outskirts of Hull come into view. Follow the field edge bearing right then left again. The path bends left and right again as you approach the road with farm buildings on the left. Emerge on to the often busy Riplingham Road and turn left. High Hunsley Circuit Stage 2 Clockwise from York Grounds to High Hunsley Turn left onto the busy road and at the brow of the hill, after about 50m, look for the fingerpost on the opposite side and take the track leading to York Grounds Farm. When you reach the farm buildings, bear slightly right and pass through the buildings. The track continues uphill. Continue on (about 600m) to a footpath junction at the bottom of a dip (Turtle Hill). Continue straight ahead with woods to the left. Keep following the main track as it winds left and right, ignoring any tracks going off until you reach a T junction opposite a pond. Leave the muddy track and turn left for about 50m then turn right, still on the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Across the pond on your right you can discern Waudby Manor Farm with its little chapel. Continue in a more or less southerly direction with a conifer plantation on your right. At the end of the plantation you will reach a kissing gate and footpath junction where you turn right onto a field edge bridleway (the road parallel to it is not a right of way). Our route continues straight ahead on the bridleway. (The Yorkshire Wolds Way goes off to the left.) At the top of the hill, turn left onto the road and follow it downhill. After about 400m, when you reach the woods on the right hand side, take the public footpath to the right next to a white gate. Continue on a woodland trail. Turn right just before you reach the edge of the wood and take the path that goes quite steeply down to the right. When the path emerges at the bottom, cross over the road and just to the left on the other side of the road, pick up the public footpath. Pass through a kissing gate and continue more or less in the same direction through the woods ahead. This woodland trail bears to the left and goes sharply uphill. Towards the top of the hill, there is a fine view of the Humber estuary to your left through the trees. Turn right ignoring the bridleway down to the left. The footpath is marked to Brantingham, I mile. When you reach a metal gate, turn left continuing uphill on a narrow path. The path bears slightly up to the right through a kissing gate. Pass through on to a minor road and turn left, rejoining the YWW. Further downhill, a metal gate on the left affords a lovely view across the Humber estuary. The village of Brantingham comes into view ahead and to the left. You may wish to divert from the route by continuing down the road for refreshments at the Triton Inn. Our route turns off the road to the right between two wire fences and descends towards the church. Turn right on the minor road along the valley bottom following the Wolds Way.

  • The Humber Metro
    The Humber Metro The Humber Metro is a very futuristic concept, depending, as it does, on the existence of the Humber tunnel between Goxhill and the approach to Paragon station, proposed as part of HS10 in the ‘HS Eastern Routes and Service Plans’ article. As noted there, although the tunnel will be built to GC gauge, it is intended from the outset to be shared with Regional Metro traffic between Cleethorpes and Hull, which will at least initially be of UK loading gauge. The Humber Metro covers the area from Selby and Goole in the west to Cleethorpes and Withernsea in the east, and from Grimsby in the south to Bridlington in the north. The core section, built to GC-gauge, as all new infrastructure should be, runs in tunnel under the centre of Hull between Paragon (LL) and Cannon St. (former H&B) stations, with a connection to the Hornsea / Withernsea lines just before Wilmington, and another to the Beverley line at Cottingham. Other than that (and the Humber tunnel, of course,) it takes over the routes of existing and former, long closed, branches. The proposed metro services fall into two groups, either cross-river or west-east along the north bank. The services of the first group are: 2tph Cleethorpes – New Clee – Grimsby Docks – Grimsby Town – West Marsh – Great Coates – Healing – Stallingborough – Habrough – Ulceby – Thornton Abbey – Goxhill – Hull Paragon (LL) – George St. – Cannon St. – Beverley Rd. – Jack Kaye Walk – Cottingham – Beverley – Arram – Lockington – Hutton Cranswick – Great Driffield – Nafferton – Lowthorpe – Burton Agnes – Carnaby – Bridlington 2tph Cleethorpes – New Clee – Grimsby Docks – Grimsby Town – West Marsh – Great Coates – Healing – Stallingborough – Habrough – Ulceby – Thornton Abbey – Goxhill – Hull Paragon (LL) – George St.

The Board, advised by the Oral Health Advisory Group, wishes to examine evidence-based options for addressing this problem. Amongst possible options may be community water fluoridation (CWF). In the first instance, and without commitment, it is desired to gain an understanding of whether CWF would be technically feasible for Hull, an indication of costs, and the extent to which any scheme might need to extend beyond the City boundary to be technically viable. Public Health England (PHE) holds, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health, the legal agreements with water companies for all CWF schemes in England. PHE has supported the City’s Director of Public Health to develop a specification for a phased feasibility assessment from Yorkshire Water Services Ltd (Yorkshire Water) to assist those deliberations.” 1.2 Specification for the study. 1.2.1 Meeting legislative requirements. Community water fluoridation is governed by specific legislation within the Water Industry Act 1991 as amended most recently by the Health and Social Care Act 2012, together with secondary legislation in The Water Fluoridation (Proposals and Consultation)(England) Regulations 2013 and The Water Supply (Fluoridation Indemnities)(England) Regulations 2005.

    The Yorkshire Journal Issue 3 Autumn 2011 In this issue: Agatha Christie’s Disappearance Yorkshire’s Seaside Piers Wharram Percy a Lost Medieval Village Winifred Holtby: A Reappraisal The Disappearance of a Roman Mosaic Withernsea Pier Entrance Towers Above: All that remain of the Withernsea Pier are the historic entrance towers which were modelled on Conwy Castle. The pier was built in 1877 at a cost £12,000 and was nearly 1,200 feet long. The pier was gradually reduced in length through consecutive impacts by local sea craft, starting with the Saffron in 1880 then the collision by an unnamed ship in 1888. Then following a collision with a Grimsby fishing boat and finally by the ship Henry Parr in 1893. This left the once-grand pier with a mere 50 feet of damaged wood and steel. Town planners decided to remove the final section during sea wall construction in 1903. The Pier Towers have recently been refurbished. In front of the entrance towers is a model of how the pier would have once looked.
