East Yorkshire contains varied places to visit all steeped in history, Hull, Beverley, Driffield and the Yorkshire Wolds, Bridlington, Hornsea, Spurn Head, and of course The Humber Bridge. Hull is located at the point where the River Hull joins the River Humber, twenty miles from the sea. Hull, with a population of 300,000 is the third biggest port in England after Liverpool and London and is sometimes described as 'the Biggest fishing port in the world'.

The famous coastal resort of Bridlington is just to the south of Flamborough Head. Bridlington began as an Anglo-Saxon settlement with a name that meant Beohrtel's ton, the farm belonging to Beohrtel. Nearby is a place called Sewerby - a Viking place name - its name means Siward's farm or village. Beverley was once the capital of the East Riding of Yorkshire and is the home to Beverley Minster; the Minster is regarded as one of the most beautiful churches in England. The Minster's stature as it stands makes it is more of a cathedral than a church and Beverley Minster overshadows indeed many English cathedrals. St John of Beverley who had trained under St Hilda at Whitby built the first church, with an attached monastery at Beverley in the 7th century.

Five miles outside Bridlington lay Burton Agnes Hall, a beautiful Elizabethan house that is famous for its 17th century carvings and the fine collection of modern paintings, bronzes, furniture and porcelain bought by the previous owner Sir Marcus Wickham-Boynton who died in 1989. With no son and heir to take over on his death responsibility of the farms and estate fell onto the young shoulders of Simon Cunliffe-Lister who was then just 12 years old. So his mother Susan Cunliffe-Lister daughter of Viscount William Whitelaw, took over the running of the estate.

The Yorkshire Wolds Way is chalk country, dominated nearly all the way by the crest of the chalk escarpment, which runs north from the Humber and then east, to terminate abruptly in the 400ft (122m) cliffs of Bempton and Flamborough. The scarp face (to the west and north overlooking the Vales of York and Pickering) is generally too steep for arable farming so is therefore mainly devoted to woodland or rough grazing. For nearly 80 miles the Yorkshire Wolds Way wends through some of the most tranquil and gentle countryside in England. From the banks of the Humber estuary, along wooded slopes and through serene valleys, the walk climbs gently onto the airy tops of the rolling hills where on a clear day ‘you can see forever'. Descending from the northern escarpment the final section of the Way finishes on the dramatic headland of Filey Brigg.
