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.

The Market Weighton Navigation starts at Weighton Lock on the Humber Estuary and did run to Canal Head, a couple of miles short of Market Weighton. Today, the Canal is only navigable at best as far as Sod House Lock, 6 miles upstream.

Holme Moor railway station was a station on the Selby to Driffield Line in the East Riding of Yorkshire serving the village of Holme-on-Spalding-Moor. It opened as Holme (Yorks) on 1 August 1848 and was renamed Holme Moor on 1 July 1923. It closed on 20 September 1954.

The RSPB signed a 50 year lease in 2017 to manage Whitton Island as a nature reserve, As a result there has been an increase in the number of birds not previously seen here. It has become a nesting site for the avocet and a feeding/roosting site for species such as pink-footed geese, teal, wigeon and spoonbills.

Being on the Market Weighton lock you can see across to Whitton Island, can be quiet breezy there.
