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.

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.

Great crossing and great scenery

Very nice hotel. I can highly recommend it https://www.saltmarshehall.com/

Located, somewhat hidden, on the Trans Pennine Trail

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.
