UK City Of Culture

Hull trains operate from London-Kings Cross ( www.hulltrains.co.uk) but travel by car and you can extend your stay in the rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, so often painted by David Hockney.

See the seabird colonies at RSPB Bempton, and the thriving market town of Beverley is a must-see with its beautiful Minster, cobbled streets and historic Georgian quarter.
