Summary
The East Riding Heritage Way is the result of an ingenious idea. It was devised by Glen Hood of the East Riding Long Distance Walkers Association, who linked four popular paths in the area to create a route from the Humber Bridge in Hessle near Hull to Filey Brigg on the North Yorkshire coast. This shares the exact start and end points of the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail and runs concurrently throughout parts of the walk. The four paths utilized to create the Heritage Way are the Beverley 20, Hutton Hike, Rudston Roam, and Headland Walk. Locations visited on the route, beginning with the Humber Bridge, include North Ferriby, Welton, Brantingham, Skidby, Bentley, Beverley, Arram, Scorborough, Lockington, Kilnwick, Hutton Cranswick, Driffield, Nafferton, Lowthorpe, Harpham, Burton Agnes, Rudston, Boynton, Bridlington, Flamborough Head, Bempton Cliffs, Speeton, Reighton, Hunmanby Moor, Primrose Valley, Muston Sands, and Filey.
