Really picturesque village, grab a coffee at South Cave serviced

Faxfleet is a little village sited on fenland where the rivers Ouse and Trent meet to form the Humber. From the path on the bank, there are sweeping views to the Wolds, and across to RSPB Blacktoft Sands nature reserve, Alkborough Flats and the largest sand bank in the Humber, Whitton Sands.

Built in 1825 by James Pigott Pritchett and Charles Watson for the Saltmarshe family, eponymous owners of the neighbouring village from 1313- 1974. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltmarshe_Hall

This is a woodland and wetland reserve with 600m of mainly grass footpaths which create a circular route and can be very muddy during winter. There are lots of tree roots and uneven surfaces across the reserve. Footpaths tend to be narrow. There is one gate onto the reserve at the footpath entrance which is closed from April to July to protect breeding birds.

To be clear - Blacktoft is on the southern bank of the Humber, but the Trans Pennine Trail running along the north bank provides easy hiking/running with great views across to Blacktoft.

Part of the long-gone Selby to Driffield line that formed part of a railway which connected the East Coast Main Line and the Yorkshire Coast Line. It crossed largely flat terrain and the Yorkshire Wolds and serviced the towns of Selby, Market Weighton, and Driffield. The line closed for regular passenger traffic on 20 September 1954, but a service of one regular non-stop train each way plus occasional summer excursions ran until June 1965. The line was abandoned after the last freight train ran later that year.

Beautiful pond. Lots of ducks. Ideal for children. Swimming prohibited. Fishing only with a license
