Hessle Foreshore - Reopened
2021
Great News – The Hessle Foreshore length has now reopened.
We are delighted to report that the length of Yorkshire Wolds Way on the Hessle Foreshore between Hessle and North Ferriby has now been reopened.
Please be aware that some of the reopened length is very muddy as a result of the large amounts of rain we have had recently. More surfacing work on these lengths is planned once drier conditions allow.
