Goole is a bit of an unsung gem tucked away in East Yorkshire, quietly sitting at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Don. It's often described as the UK's most inland port, which gives it a quirky appeal from the off. While it might not be the first place that springs to mind when planning a trip to Yorkshire, there's a certain charm to it – from the vast open skies over the docks to the down-to-earth locals and slow, easy pace of life. The town's got a solid working identity, but it's far from all bricks and industry.

Goole's story kicks off in the 1800s, built up as a planned port town to shift coal from the West Riding out to the world. Its growth was swift once the canals and railways took hold, drawing workers and families into the area. It's not one of those places with ancient ruins or medieval markets, but there's something fascinating about a town that sprang up from nothing and just kept going. These days, around 20,000 people call Goole home. It's got that mix of old industrial grit and modern development, with newer housing popping up alongside the Victorian terraces and remnants of its dockside heritage.

If you're after a quiet wander, the town's got a few surprises up its sleeve. The Goole Museum and Waterways Centre's worth a look, tucked above the library, giving a nod to the town's maritime roots. West Park's a decent spot for a walk, picnic or letting the kids blow off steam. The Lowther Hotel's got a bit of old-school class about it too. Nearby, you've got some cracking spots if you're into National Trust or English Heritage days out—Howden Minster's just up the road, and a bit further afield you'll find the grand surroundings of Beningbrough Hall, the haunting remains of Wharram Percy, and the stately gardens of Goddards House in York. Not quite doorstep distance but close enough for a decent day out.

Zoom out a bit and East Yorkshire's packed with places to explore. The Yorkshire Wolds roll out not too far from Goole, perfect for those scenic drives or a stomp across open countryside. Beverley's always worth a wander—gorgeous minster, cobbled streets, little independent shops, and a proper sense of character. Then there's Hull, with its vibrant arts scene, museums dotted about the city, and The Deep – an enormous aquarium that's popular with kids and grown-ups alike. Seaside towns like Bridlington and Hornsea give you that classic British coastal feel too, fish and chips and all.

Getting in and out of Goole's pretty straightforward. The M62 runs just south of town, making it easy to shoot off towards Leeds, Hull or even Manchester. Trains stop regularly at Goole station, with direct services to Doncaster, Hull and Leeds, so you're not stuck for connections. If you're flying in from afar, Doncaster Sheffield Airport used to be the closest, but with that now closed, your best bets are Leeds Bradford or Humberside Airport, both around an hour's drive depending on traffic. Buses link Goole to the smaller surrounding villages and market towns, so it's not completely cut off by any means.

East Yorkshire itself is a county with a bit of everything—coastline, countryside, towns with proper character, and villages that feel untouched by time. It's less talked about than North Yorkshire but it's got this quiet charm that grows on you. The Wolds have a gentle beauty, almost sleepy in places, and the coastal stretch gives you those wide skies and bracing winds that leave you feeling fresh out of the city grind. It's not flashy, but it's got depth and variety.

We hope you found this Goole tourist map useful for your visit to the area.
