Fox Covert

Dense woodland stretches across this section of East Yorkshire countryside, offering proper walking territory for those who fancy getting their boots muddy. Fox Covert sits a few miles inland from Hull, part of the network of copses that dot the Holderness plain before it flattens out towards the Humber.

Dog walkers and families with older children will get the most from this spot. The paths wind through mixed woodland - mainly ash and oak with a decent understory that provides cover for local wildlife. It's the sort of place where you might spot a red kite overhead or catch sight of deer if you're quiet enough.

Expect to spend an hour or two here depending on how far you venture. The terrain isn't challenging but it can get properly boggy after rain, so waterproof footwear is essential. No facilities to speak of, so pack water and snacks if you're planning a longer ramble.

For those staying at nearby parks like Cowden Holiday Park or South Cliff Holiday Park, Fox Covert makes a decent escape from the coast when the sea breeze gets too sharp. It's also handy if you're based at one of the inland sites like WoodLake Campsite and want somewhere to stretch your legs that isn't beach-focused. Nothing spectacular, but a solid choice for a woodland walk without the crowds you'd find at more famous Yorkshire beauty spots.
