Our guide to Ferriby, Hull and East Yorkshire


Getting to Know North Ferriby

Nestled on the northern banks of the River Humber, North Ferriby is a picturesque but lively village just a short drive west of Hull and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Wolds. With riverside walks, stunning views, ancient sites, and a close-knit village atmosphere, it’s the perfect base for a relaxing break or for exploring the wider region. We hope this guide will help you uncover the best sights, activities and experiences during your stay.

Things to See and Do in North Ferriby

1. The Humber Foreshore

One of North Ferriby’s greatest charms lies in its riverside setting. You can take a leisurely walk along the Humber Foreshore, where you can spot wading birds, or search for fossils. The changing tides and the play of light on the water make every stroll unique and the sweeping estuary with views of the incredible Humber Bridge is perfect for sunrise and sunset photography. Early morning is the most peaceful time for spotting rare birds. Look out for historic landmarks, including remnants of the village’s maritime past.

  • For another spectacular view of the Humber and bridge, take a walk up Swanland Hill which leads off Ferriby High Road at the cenotaph. You can walk up to see the view or take a longer stroll up to Swanland, returning down Woodgates Lane.
2. Visit All Saints’ Church

Standing at the heart of the village, All Saints’ Church is a Grade II listed building with origins tracing back to the 13th century. Its peaceful churchyard and beautiful stained-glass windows are well worth a visit, offering a glimpse into the rich ecclesiastical history of the area.

3. Explore the North Ferriby Bronze Age Boat Site

Few villages can claim a heritage as ancient as North Ferriby’s. In 1937, the remains of one of Europe’s oldest boats were discovered here, dating back to around 2000 BC. While the actual boats are preserved in museums, you can visit the site within minutes’ walk of Brickyard Cottage along the Riverside Walkway and learn about this fascinating prehistoric find through local heritage trails and information boards.

4. Enjoy Tranquil Walkways and Green Spaces

North Ferriby is blessed with woodland and green spaces and the village playing fields are just two minutes up the road towards the church. The large adventure playground with its new skate park is great for kids of all ages. Ferriby has a proud tradition of football and the park is also home of North Ferriby FC, so catch a match if you can.

The famous Riverside Walkways and strolls through the ‘enchanted wood’ or to the Reed Pond and the river can be accessed from the cottage and are great for families, dog walkers, or anyone seeking a peaceful spot for a picnic. The benches dotted around are perfect for nature and bird watching. You’ll probably spot a few alpacas and ponies in the fields on the way.

5. Walk or Cycle the Wolds Way

The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail runs close by, offering spectacular hiking and cycling opportunities. The gentle rolling hills, wildflower meadows, and far-reaching views are typical of the underrated East Riding landscape. Trails including the Wolds and Cleveland Way are easily accessible from North Ferriby, making it an ideal base for a day of rambling or biking.

6. Sample Local Food and Drink

The village and its environs boast a selection of welcoming pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Try the local ale at one of the traditional inns or enjoy a hearty Yorkshire meal in a cosy setting. For something sweet, hunt down homemade cakes and scones in one of the tearooms. Venues within walking distance include:

  • The Duke of Cumberland, Ferriby High Road – A friendly local pub known for hearty portions and a warm welcome.
  • The Swan and Cygnet – The picturesque village of Swanland is a longer walk, or short drive up Swanland Hill where cask ales, fine wines and food ranging from pub grub to a la carte await.
  • Ruthvika Spices & Kitchen – is a new concept in Indian fine dining and offers a fusion of authentic Indian cuisine in an opulent setting. It’s almost next door to the pub. Book your table at ruthvikadine.co.uk
  • Low Street Pizza – A cut above your standard takeaway, no visit to Ferriby is complete without sampling the gourmet burgers and pizzas.
  • The Riverside Walkway Café - a two-minute walk away down the lane behind the house is very popular with locals and visitors. The cheese toasties are delicious. The Butchers Café, also on Low Street offers breakfast, brunch, homemade cakes and small plates.

7. Experience the Humber Bridge

Just to the west of North Ferriby near the town of Hessle, lies the iconic Humber Bridge, once the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world. You can walk or cycle across to Lincolnshire for dazzling views, or visit the Humber Bridge Country Park, a local nature reserve set in former chalk quarries. Two miles walk or six-minute drive.

8. Seasonal Events and Festivals

Depending on when you visit, you may be able to experience local events and celebrations:

  • North Ferriby Village Show – A community event with crafts, produce, and entertainment.
  • Humber Bridge Soapbox Derby – Fun for all ages, featuring creative homemade carts racing down the bridge approach.
  • Beverley Folk Festival – A regional highlight with music, dance, and cultural performances.
  • Christmas Light Switch-On – Both North Ferriby and nearby villages celebrate with festive lights and markets.
9. Outdoor and Sporting Activities

The area is ideal for:

  • Birdwatching along the estuary and at local nature reserves.
  • Golf at local clubs, including Hull Golf Club, Cave Castle in South Cave and Brough Golf Club.
  • Tennis, bowls, cricket, squash and racquetball at village clubs (guests are often welcome – check ahead).
  • Early morning walks along the river are especially peaceful, and you may spot rare birds at low tide.
  • Check local noticeboards for pop-up markets, charity sales, and open garden days.
