The historic North Bar in Beverley

Imposing Cathedral in a relatively small and cozy town

Nice easy northbound descent, if you keep going after crossing Arras Hill / York Road, this great track continues with panoramic views north, until you pick up the Hudson Way Rail Trail back into Market Weighton.

Opened on 1 May 1865 and served the nearby village of Kiplingcotes. It was built originally for the personal use of a local landowner and MP, Lord Hotham, as an incentive for him to allow the railway to pass through his estates. The station closed after the last train ran on 27 November 1965 along with the rest of the line. The station building, platforms and signal box survive unaltered, as does the station master's house.

Maintained by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Rifle Butts Quarry was created to provide stone for the construction of the railway line adjacent to the nature reserve. The site was then used as a rifle range from the 1890s to the First World War.

Car park 300m to the west if you don't want to walk all the way from Market Weighton. Steep chalk embankment with meadow underneath. Very scenic and I saw a small flock of jet black Hebridean sheep.

Wide gravel trail with asphalt on the northern half.

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.
