Tips from the Community
The old railway station building was derelict until 1987 - now a private residence and looks spectacular. Few information boards in the open area in front of the building.

The Hull to Hornsea railway line, developed by local timber merchant Joseph Armytage Wade, opened in 1864. It was built to serve the Holderness Plain and boost Hornsea's growth as a seaside resort. The railway lasted 100 year and was closed to passengers in 1964.

Sigglesthorne railway station had unusual staggered platforms, positioned on opposite sides of a level crossing. The site is now a private residence, but both of the original staggered platforms survive, as does the goods dock.

A beautiful old mansion with a unique interior and a lovely garden. There's also a good café next door. Ideal for a stop.
