Our day trip to Kingston upon Hull offered a fascinating mix of history, culture, and modern attractions. The journey began in Hull’s charming Old Town, where cobbled streets and historic buildings create a vivid sense of the city’s maritime past. Narrow alleys, traditional pubs, and Georgian architecture gave the area a welcoming character.
The next stop was the Streetlife Museum, which provides an engaging look at transport history. Vintage cars, bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, and recreated street scenes made the museum both educational and entertaining. Nearby, the Hull and East Riding Museum displayed impressive archaeological treasures, including Roman artefacts and prehistoric remains, offering insight into the region’s ancient past.
Lunch was enjoyed at Trinity Market, a lively indoor market filled with independent food stalls and local produce. Although, some preferred a pint and Fish and Chips at the local Wetherspoons. Afterwards, a visit to Hull Minster revealed magnificent Gothic architecture and a peaceful atmosphere.
The day concluded at The Deep, Hull’s spectacular aquarium, where sharks, rays, and colourful marine life provided a memorable ending to an enjoyable and varied day.
