About

Hessle West sits on the north bank of the Humber in the East Riding of Yorkshire, centered on Ferriby Road and a mix of residential streets. Its local shopping strip, primary schools and sports grounds are within walking distance of the river. A short walk from the centre brings you to the foreshore and river path, used by commuters and leisure walkers alike. The north anchorage of the Humber Bridge stands beside the estuary here, and the span is a visible part of the local skyline from riverside routes.

Public transport includes regular services from Hessle railway station into the city and beyond, and bus links along the main roads. Cycle routes follow the river and connect to quieter lanes inland. Community spaces host football pitches, allotments and seasonal markets. Land use changes quickly from housing to open foreshore, so local planning tends to focus on flood defences and access to the riverbank for fishing and walking.
