LOVELY LITTLE SITE
This is a lovely little site on the edge of the village. Although pitches were small, we did not feel overlooked or crowded. Spotlessly clean facilities - shower/toilet, our host, Dorrie was friendly, helpful and approachable - always stopping for a chat. It is close to the lane and there is passing traffic, but not busy & definitely didn't disturb our sleep. We would definitely return here.
Easy access to the coast. Withernsea is nice enough, but we personally preferred Mappleton Beach with free parking at the top of the cliff. Spurn Point is definitely worth a visit - free parking is available, but if you're walking the whole peninsular, ensure you give yourself a full day and take plenty of refreshments. Best to check tide times as in winter high tide it can get cut off.
The highlight of our own visit was the City of Kington-upon-Hull, which is about a 20 minute drive from the site My goodness! What a wealth of attractions to be had. Hull Old Town is just spectacular - the restoration and regeneration is just mind-blowing. ALL the museums & galleries are free, as is the Minster and with free/low-costing parking (£2.40 for 12 hours!) we just kept returning. We really enjoyed the street life museum, but there is also the William Wilberforce Museum and Archaeology Museum on the same site, with the History Museum not too far away. Trinity Square Market has a hive of different street foods that won't break the bank. The Old Fruit Market has been converted to independent shops & a range of eateries overlooking the marina. A walk along the river from Albert Docks to Alexandra Docks via Victoria Dock Village is full of history with information boards along the way. No visit to the area would be complete without taking in the Humber Bridge Country Park - again free parking, with access to Hessle Foreshore. With so much to see and do in the City, we really cannot recommend it enough - and with very little pressure on the purse strings.
