  • Walk along Main Street past the sports ground and the picturesque white lighthouse (the subject of many a romantic painting).  Next turn right onto Back Road.  Continue straight on as the road joins Thorngumbald Road, and go past the church. 
  • Go past South Pasture to Lakes Farm then turn right onto a path which runs alongside the Gas Valve Compound and up the embankment of the 'new' lagoon.
  • Follow the path along the top back to the foreshore and then back towards Paull village.  You will pass the old Napoleonic fort shown as 'Paull Point Battery' on your map, and eventually reach your start point.

Features of Interest
- The old white lighthouse in Paull was built by Trinity House in 1856. This landmark can be seen from the waterfront in Hull.

- Fort Paull, the former Paull Point Battery, was originally constructed as protection from the threat of invasion by the French Navy. It was built on the site of an earlier fort which was destroyed in the Civil War of the 1640s. It saw action in the First and Second World Wars as an anti-aircraft battery with some success. The guns are long gone but the fort is now open to the public as a museum.

- If you take your stroll in the evening you may see the giant ferries heading down river on their overnight journeys across the North Sea.
