12th Century motte and bailey castle constructed on a raised mound of earth surrounded by a defensive ditch. Before the surrounding marshland was drained in the late medieval period, the castle would have effectively sat on an island. Pedestrian gates were installed at the site in 2023 due to damage caused by off road motorbikes. Unfortunately, they aren't working, there were plenty of tyre tracks in the mud all over the hill in October 2025.

Easy access, enough space for at least a dozen cars.

Imposing Cathedral in a relatively small and cozy town

Really picturesque village, grab a coffee at South Cave serviced

Only the west side is accessible on bike or foot (April 2025)

Archetypal English village with its large village green surrounded by pretty stone houses and two pubs. The open beck runs in front of the houses in Eastgate, each with their own private bridge. The banks of the stream are planted with flowers. A large flat circular stone on the green known as the whipping stone is probably the base of the old market cross but rumour has it that a man was whipped to death here in 1624. https://www.newbaldparishcouncil.gov.uk/about-newbald/

The new Withernsea pier: technological feat and popular success Despite some damage during its construction, the 1,196-feet-long pier was completed by August 1877. Built entirely out of iron, except for the brick entrance and wooden decking, the pier used the new technology of screw piles, which were driven deep into the ground. Seating was provided along the full length of the pier and a saloon and hall for entertainment was situated at the pier head. The entrance to the pier consisted of two castellated towers, rumoured to be based on Conwy Castle in Wales. Storm damage and tragic loss of life On 28 October 1880, a devastating storm erupted which caused damage to many of Yorkshire’s piers. Withernsea Pier suffered twice when it was hit by two storm-damaged vessels. T The second vessel to hit the pier was the brig Saffron, which tore a 200-foot hole through its centre before coming to rest nearby. The Saffron had been part of a flotilla of ships which had set out from the Humber, journeying northwards. Around Flamborough Head, the wind increased rapidly to a storm force gale. The fleet was at the mercy of the elements. The pier had only just been repaired when it was damaged again on 28 March 1882, the pier head being destroyed along with the saloon above it. The pier was not repaired, but the remaining sections continued in use. The series of disasters was relentless, and on 20 October 1890, the Grimsby fishing smack Genesta hit the pier, destroying over half its length and leaving just over 300 feet remaining. Two years later even this was destroyed, when another vessel, the Henry Parr (formerly the Dido) rammed into it at the height of another storm. The remains of Withernsea pier: a landmark and memorial The history of the pier at Withernsea is both tragic and yet in some ways inspiring. The two entrance towers have survived all the devastation around them. They are a well-loved landmark in the town, even if many visitors are totally unaware that they once formed a part of a pier. They also act as a memorial to those sailors who perished in the seas around it.

From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the calm waters. Not far away is the beach of the same name which has been a hotspot for unexploded RAF bombs, which fell from the rapidly eroding cliffs.

Nice and secluded property but unfortunately weather was bad so didn't hang around worth a visit again

Just be respectful of caravan residents and farm animals especially in spring when there's an abundance of sheep either lambing or caring for there young

Beverley Minster was constructed in the 13th century and holds the claim of one of the largest parish churches in England. It's a beautiful piece of architecture, often regarded as one of the most stunning Gothic buildings in Europe. Its stained-glass windows are renowned, with some dating back to the 14th century. I'd highly recommend taking a walk inside the building, which is open between 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday.

Quiet single lane road just a bit inland from the Humber. The road is narrow with occasional passing places.

Historic shipyard where boats were launched broadside. Still lots of boat building machinery around.

Skidby Mill is a Grade II listed four-sail windmill and is surrounded by its original outbuildings and courtyard. The Museum of East Riding Rural Life is housed in the outbuildings. The Mill is still operational but from January 2022 is undergoing renovations so is not currently milling flour or open to the public. Please check their website for the most up to date information though as this may change from the time of writing (September 2022). eastridingmuseums.co.uk/find-a-museum/?entry=skidby_mill

Beverley Minster is one of the largest parish churches in the UK and is a seen as a gothic masterpiece. It is also known as the Parish Church of St John and St Martin. The building as it stands today was completed in the 15th century but there has been a religious site here since 700. St John was buried in the chapel of the saxon church which stood here in the 8th century and the present minster was built around it.

thick mud in wet seasons, don't slip!

Cafe is good but card payments only over £5 (2023)

Quiet, single lane road.

Lots to explore in and around the Humber bridge worth a visit and a walk around the area
