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.

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

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.
