Hiking
The RSPB Blacktoft Sands nature reserve is the perfect spot for any avid bird watcher. It is the highest tidal reedbed in England and home to numerous native species with seasonal migrating birds using it as a stop off point.

Hiking
To be clear - Blacktoft is on the southern bank of the Humber, but the Trans Pennine Trail running along the north bank provides easy hiking/running with great views across to Blacktoft.
