More on safe cycling in East Yorkshire

Safe and enjoyable family cycling in East Yorkshire is not only an excellent opportunity to enjoy the scenic beauty of the region but also a fantastic way to strengthen family bonds. From serene coastal routes to charming countryside paths, East Yorkshire provides an array of family-friendly cycling routes, providing you with a rewarding experience that blends adventure, sightseeing, and fitness.

A prominent route to begin your family cycling adventure is the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). This iconic trail spans coast to coast across Northern England, and East Yorkshire forms a key section of it. A magnificent 370 miles long, the TPT might seem intimidating, but it’s split into manageable sections that cater to all levels of cyclists.

Its off-road segments are particularly perfect for family outings. Starting from the historic town of Hornsea, the Hornsea Rail Trail section is especially suited for families. The 15-mile stretch follows the former railway line between Hull and Hornsea, offering a gentle, flat terrain that’s safe for even younger children. Lush greenery and the sight of diverse wildlife along the path add to its appeal, while the opportunity to end your ride at the seaside makes it even more enticing.
