Depending on how confident and fit a cyclist you are, there are a range of destinations that can be accessed by bike from Cygnet View.
For confident road cyclists, Hull city centre can be reached in around 35 minutes, where a wealth of amenities and employment opportunities are available.
If you’re after a more leisurely ride, there are plenty of trails and spaces that you can take advantage of close by.
The National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 65 runs south of Swanland, through North Ferriby and runs between Hornsea via York and Hull to Middlesborough. The section between Hornsea and Hull is almost entirely along a disused railway line, known as the Hornsea Rail Trail. Then the section between Hull and York avoids the Yorkshire Wolds by running along the banks of the Humber Estuary, passing under the Humber Bridge.
