At the end of the lane, turn left and cross over the bridge to turn right immediately.

Continue down this track until it reaches the Market Weighton Canal. Turn left here, and continue on the track alongside the canal. Eventually you meet a gate, go through and carry on along the track - which becomes a road called Landing Lane.

This is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At the junction of paths, turn left to follow the TPT, ignoring the next path off on the right. When you reach Main Street in Broomfleet, turn right, again to follow the TPT. At the next road junction, turn left onto Carr Lane. Keep to the right of Carr Lane on the pavement, and follow it as it bends to the left then right to return to the station.
