Directions to the start →

A short flat town circuit that works in any weather and stays clear of the summer beach ban entirely, because the order only touches the sand and not the promenade above it. Start at the two mock-castle Pier Towers on Pier Road, walk the concrete promenade south past the shelters to where the sea wall gives out at the south end, then turn inland and come back up Queen Street through the shops. The odd part is the lighthouse: Withernsea’s stands 127 feet high in the middle of a residential street, Hull Road, a good three hundred yards from the sea, because the town grew around it. Its garden and cafe sit at the foot. Loop back down Seaside Road to the towers. It is pavement all the way, so a lead is sensible on the road sections, and the promenade takes the wind straight off the North Sea.
