Ottringham to Patrington

8 July 2020, the remotest section of the Hull to Winestead rail trail. The sad thing about this section is that it peters out at the A1033 just south of Winestead Bridge with nothing to signify its end. There is a discouraging short right of way through a field to Station Road in Patrington village. But there are two incredibly special features of this section of the trail. It is the wildest, narrowest and ghostliest part of the dismantled Hull to Withernsea Line and it finishes close to Patrington with its exquisite and justifiably world-famous church. The lonely track through the Peasbury Hill cutting is, in midsummer, abundant with wild flowers and insects. It would be quite scary on a moonlit winter’s night.
