The Humber Bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges with a central span of 1,410 meters and has spanned the Humber between Hessle and Barton-upon-Humber in England near Kingston upon Hull since 1981. After its construction, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world for about 17 years.

Bird Feeding Station at Humber Bridge Country Park

Highlight • Structure

Nice little place to watch the birds on the feeding stations. Apparently they have free events you can join. Some benches nearby to sit and take a break.

Humber Bridge Country Park

Highlight • Natural

Really nice country park so many little trails and walks. Feels a bit like being in the jungle in some bits. There’s a pond and benches and information about the area.

Black Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Hessle Whiting Mill is a striking hidden gem that offers a unique window into the Humber’s industrial past. Standing as the only remaining whiting mill in the UK with its internal machinery intact, this "Black Mill" tells the fascinating story of how chalk was once quarried from the nearby cliffs—now the lush Humber Bridge Country Park—and crushed into fine powder for everything from paint to putty. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just out for a scenic stroll along the foreshore, the mill serves as the perfect focal point for the Chalk Walk heritage trail, blending impressive 19th-century engineering with stunning views of the iconic Humber Bridge.

Start of the Yorkshire Wolds Way

Highlight • Monument

For the majority of hikers about to begin the Yorkshire Wolds Way, this sculpture, set in the shadow of the mighty Humber Bridge, marks the start of the national trail. However, the official start is actually 0.5 miles (0.8 km) back in Hessle.

Humber Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Humber Bridge was the world’s longest single-span suspension bridge when it opened and held this record for 16 years. It remains the longest in the world that can be crossed on foot or by cycle.

The bridge is made up of three spans; Hessle side span (280 metres), Barton side span (530 metres) and the main centre span (1410 metres) making a total of 2,200 metres or 1.4 miles.
