Dog-friendly walks in Brough

Brough Haven, the Humber bank and Welton Waters

The flattest good walk in the south of the patch: out of Brough station down Station Road to the haven where Welton Beck meets the estuary, then east along the top of the Humber floodbank with the whole width of the river on your right and the Lincolnshire wolds across it. The bank runs past the aircraft works and out to Welton Waters, a flooded gravel lake now used as a sailing and paddleboard centre, before you turn inland and come back into Brough on Welton Road and Skillings Lane. The Roman ferry crossing at Petuaria was on this exact reach, and the ground under the bank is the old Roman shoreline. There are no fences between the bank top and the mud, and the tide across those flats comes in quickly.
