Hull, Yorkshire—an English port town with a defiant spirit

Getting around
Hull’s attractions are clustered in the city center and best explored on foot. From King’s Cross Station in London, it’s around three hours by train to Hull, with several departures a day and typically one change. Once you arrive in Hull, everything is within easy walking distance of Hull’s centrally located train station.
The nearest airport is Leeds Bradford Airport, just over an hour-and-a-half drive away, which services mostly European cities. The hub for long-haul flights is Manchester, a bigger airport about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Hull.
Public transportation links to Hull from either airport involve several changes; for those flying into the north of England, it’s well worth renting a car. This also makes it easier to explore the wider Yorkshire region of moors, dales, and coastal towns—detours and rural meanderings are all part of the experience in rural England.
