험블턴 최고의 사이클링 경로

The old railway station building was derelict until 1987 - now a private residence and looks spectacular. Few information boards in the open area in front of the building.

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.

Before the Holderness Drain was constructed in the late 18th century, the landscape was a vast, watery marsh. The drain replaced a more natural watercourse that functioned as a key transport route through the area and was ultimately created to reclaim this land for agriculture by managing flood risk.

Lovely sea view. Bit rough at times, at least a hybrid bike

Easy walk

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.

Hornsea Mere is Yorkshire's largest freshwater lake. It was used as a base for the Royal Naval Air Service and then, latterly, for the Royal Air Force during the First World War.

Don't forget the cafe in the old Post Office here at Mappleton. Great cakes, lovely people, garden as well as inside space. Composting toilet to boot!
