Hubs
Some places lend themselves to being hubs, where you may pitch up for a few days’ car-free walking, fanning out on a different route (or part of a route) each day. The hub becomes a walking-place for recreation at walking pace. Hubs in this area include
| Doncaster | Doncaster is an important hub in the south of the area, with good public transport links in all directions. It also links to the area west of the railway. |
| Grimsby | Grimsby is a good local hub for the south shore of the Humber. |
| Hull | Hull is a key hub for the south-east of the area (on both sides of the Humber). |
| Northallerton | Northallerton is the obvious hub for the north-west of the area: it also offers links to the west. |
| Scarborough | Scarborough is the natural hub for the coast, the south-eastern half of the North York Moors, and for the northern part of the Wolds. |
| York | York is an important hub for the north of the area, with public transport links throughout. |
