By bicycle from Hull to Dunswell

This easygoing cycle route starts in Hull, a vibrant port city known for its maritime heritage and quirky attractions like The Deep aquarium. You’ll roll mostly along designated cycleways—about 84% of the journey—so it’s perfect if you prefer quiet, traffic-free riding. You’ll cruise north through the suburbs and out into quieter scenery, with mostly flat ground and just a tiny 3 meters of ascent (easy on the legs!).

Most of the route is surfaced with smooth asphalt, but don’t be surprised by a few rougher patches, especially as you get closer to Dunswell. Dunswell itself is a small village just outside Hull, offering a peaceful finish after your urban start. With less than 10 km to cover, this is a relaxed ride—ideal for a lazy afternoon or a gentle weekend escape out of the city.
