Walk Description

The Wilberforce Trail is a walking route through the cobbled streets of Hull’s Old Town, taking in places associated with the life of the city’s most famous Member of Parliament, the politician and anti-slave trade campaigner William Wilberforce.

Wilberforce was born in Hull in 1759 – at a time when the city was northeast England’s leading port – and made his name as a powerful advocate for the abolition of slavery. Ceramic markers guide you from the grand Georgian house where he was born to the Wilberforce Monument overlooking Queen’s Gardens.
