Humber Bridge Humber Bridge No Data

Description


When it opened it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, and cut over 50 miles off the journey between banks of the Humber. Today, it's no longer such a world beater, but it is still a stunning structure. You can observe the bridge from viewing points in Hessle (the Hull side) or in Barton-upon-Humber. You can also walk across the bridge (it takes about 30 minutes) as there are foot/cycle paths on either side of the road carriageway. The views from the bridge itself down the Humber estuary are stunning.

Charge




Getting There

The 350 bus towards Scunthorpe leaves from Hull bus station every hour and stops off at the North side of the bridge, in Hessle, just before crossing over. Alternatively you can stay on the bus and ride over the bridge through to Barton-upon-Humber, take in the views and then walk back over and pick up the bus on the bridge approach on the Hull side. Journey time is around 20 minutes to Hessle and a further 10 minutes across the bridge and down into Barton
