A real jewel to wander around. You have the Seven Seas Fish Trail and a host of other interesting places, blue plaques etc. lots of places to pop into, lots of bars and cafes for a snack and a drink.
The White Hart pub is an absolute must go to. Fabulous pub.
This is a very popular area with tourists-little cobbled back lanes, access to the river and over to the Deep, the Museum Quarter… it has become a popular location for filming with the streets transformed to war time Britain.
A fascinating destination to explore is a quaint town with a historic charm that feels like stepping back in time. The Hull old town area is particularly captivating, with its cobblestone streets and vintage architecture. Among its highlights are several pubs that date back to 1729 (picture attached), each exuding a unique character and offering a cozy atmosphere, making them delightful spots to relax and soak in the local culture. The entire region is remarkably picturesque. This visual appeal has not gone unnoticed by filmmakers, as it served as one of the filming locations for the popular movie "Enola Holmes."
This is an absolutely great place. Really underrated. Loads of great museums (streetlife and Wilberforce recommended) and some interesting back streets with coffee shops and eateries. Can't believe we waited this long to visit such a cool place.
