Crossing the 'listed' Humber Bridge

Today was our Hull day, home of City of Culture 2017. We started at Humber Bridge Country Park with free parking, tourist information and a lovely cliff walk through the woods. Sailor and Penny enjoyed a good sniff as we wandered around the red route. A mere 5000 steps so onward to our next stop.

The Humber Bridge has just been given 'listed' status so we visited a great viewpoint of the bridge first and then paid the £1.50 to go over the bridge to Lincolnshire. Our next stop was an English Heritage site - Thornton Abbey and Gatehouse. The Gatehouse is the largest in England. We wandered down to the ruin of the Augustinian Abbey. The nave, cloister and chapter house were visible in the ruin. Penny absolutely loves a ruin and looks in all the books and crannies.

Back to Hull, the Environment Agency Tidal Surge Barrier has also been given listed status so we paid a visit.
