Hudson Way

This was the York to Beverley line which in its entirety opened in 1865 in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The first part was constructed from York to Market Weighton. The second part to Beverley was completed in in 1860s. It was delayed by 17 years partly because of the downfall of George Hudson. Finance also played a part with the collapse of the Railway Bubble at the time. Closure came in November 1965. Now a 10 mile railway path, and a designated Bridleway. There is the possibility of linking with the Bubwith Rail Trail from Market Weighton by avoiding the busier roads and using minor roads and bridleways.
