West Hill

The highest point in East Yorkshire doesn't exactly take your breath away - West Hill rises to a modest 128 metres and sits on the outskirts of Hull, making it more of a local landmark than a dramatic peak. That said, it's worth a visit if you're camping nearby at Cowden Holiday Park or Sea View Country Park, both within a couple of miles.

The hill itself offers decent views across the flat Yorkshire landscape, particularly towards the Humber estuary on clear days. It's the kind of place where walkers with young children can claim they've conquered a summit without anyone getting too knackered. The walk up takes perhaps twenty minutes at a leisurely pace, and you'll spot the distinctive beacon or monument at the top - a proper local focal point.

Really, West Hill works best as a short leg-stretch during a caravan holiday rather than a destination in itself. If you're based at Burton Constable Holiday Park or one of the other sites clustered around this area, bundling it into an afternoon alongside nearby attractions makes sense. The approach is straightforward enough, though there's little in the way of facilities up top, so bring water.

It's free to visit and accessible year-round. East Yorkshire's terrain is relentlessly flat elsewhere, so even this modest elevation feels like a novelty - locals clearly treasure it. Families will manage it easily, history buffs might appreciate the historical marker, and serious hikers will find it a quick warm-up before heading elsewhere.
