Sightseeing
The Old Town and River Hull are well worth a ramble for some wonderful civic architecture and remnants of Georgian streets. The Museum quarter houses several wonderful museums including the Wilberforce Museum charting Hull’s role in the abolition of slavery as well as the horrors that slavery produced. The Ferens Art Gallery is also exceedingly good and there are wonderful events from time to time at the City Hall, Hull Truck Theatre, the New Theatre and Hull Minster. The fish trail is a fun experience ending at “The Deep” - a great aquarium more educational than most in explaining Hull’s long history of deep-sea fishing.

Hull has loads of great street art – notably at the new outdoor Bankside Gallery – but its biggest draw is the Banksy work “Draw the Raised Bridge” that appeared on Scott Street Bridge in January 2018. The bridge is now being demolished, but the artwork will soon be available to view in the gallery along with other works inspired by Banksy.

For more than 30 years the Humber Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world and is a truly amazing structure. It is best visited from Hessle foreshore where you a enjoy a walk in “Little Switzerland” and have a meal at the Humber Bridge Country Inn with stunning views across the river. You can also walk across the bridge although it is 4 miles there and back and reaches dizzying heights – not for the faint hearted.

The Yorkshire Wolds easily rival the more famous Yorkshire Dales and Moors for walking and touring. Starting near the Humber Bridge the Wolds Way Long Distance Footpath makes its way North to near York, before swinging East to Flamborough Head. There are wonderful routes to follow along its entire length, lovely villages and country pubs to visit. A great place to start is the village of Welton to the West of Hull with its lovely pub, the Green Dragon.

A few miles to the East of Hull is the lovely Burton Constable Hall with extensive grounds designed by Capability Brown, and a wealth of curiosities including the 60 foot skeleton of a Sperm Whale. There’s a lovely tea shop and dogs are welcome on leads.

Flamborough Head has an other-worldly feel where the chalk hills of the Yorkshire Wolds hit the sea in spectacular style. Visit North Landing for rock pools and caves (check the tides) and walk along Bempton cliffs to see puffins, guillemots and seals. Sewerby village near Bridlington has a beautiful hall with adventure playground and gardens (dog friendly) and a renowned pub, The Ship.

You'll find the house that William Wilberforce lived in whilst MP for Hull at the Northern end of High Street. The house is now a fascinating and sometimes gruesome museum charting the horrors of slavery and the path to its abolition shortly after Wilberforce's death.

Hull was rarely referred to by name in newspaper reports during the Second World War. Instead, reports of raids were said to have taken place in a "north-east coast town" in an attempt to protect the identity of the city and play down the devastation wreaked on the population by the Luftwaffe. Hull was subject to 86 raids, the first on 19/20 June 1940, and the last on 17 March 1945. It was the second most destroyed city in the UK after Coventry which, by contrast, was razed to the ground on a single night.
Photographs and original archives held at the Hull History Centre bear testament to the extent of this devastation and provide an insight into how the city coped under wartime conditions. Chief amongst the exhibits are the essays of school children containing heart-breaking accounts of the bombing (the "Zuckerman archive").

Hornsea and Withernsea are the closest coastal resorts to Hull, but although they have a great fish and chips and bracing sea air, if you want sand you need to head north to Fraisethorpe and Bridlington. Fraisethorpe is a great local secret - miles of sand, open to dogs all year, and a great cafe - the "Cow Shed".

Spurn Point is Yorkshire's very own Lands End - an iconic and constantly moving peninsula which curves between the North Sea and the Humber Estuary. At over three miles long but as little as 50 metres wide, this landscape is unique and ever-changing.
Vehicles are excluded from the peninsula to protect the abundant wildlife, but you can walk or take a Landrover from the Discovery Centre near Kilnsea. Like Flamborough Head, it is an "other-world" experience unique in the UK.

Food scene
The new Fruit Market area adjoining the Marina has transformed in recent years to become the heart of the City’s cultural scene. Humber Street has countless bars, cafes and galleries from which to start a gastronomic tour of Hull, including the Humber Street Gallery which has a rooftop bar with views over the City. The Humber Fish Co deserves special mention for its locally sourced fish menu and - whilst pricey - provides a fabulous setting from which to enjoy the alfresco café culture and busy nightlife. Tapaysa is a highly rated Indian restaurant which has recently moved to the Marina from Beverley Road
