Discover options for walking and cycling at the Humber Bridge, including safety information and advice for planning your visit. Whether you’re enjoying a walk across the bridge or exploring by bike, this page provides the key information you need.
Spanning over 2,200 metres, the Humber Bridge offers stunning views and a unique experience for anyone exploring it on foot or two wheels. It is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world that you can walk, cycle, or run across.
Whether you’re out for a stroll, a scenic bike ride, or an energising run, the Humber Bridge is more than just a crossing, it’s an adventure!
The West Footpath is open for everyone to enjoy from 5am to 9pm, Monday to Friday, and from 6am to 9pm on weekends.
As you cross, please be mindful of others. Cyclists should ride at a safe speed, give pedestrians plenty of space, and take extra care. At times, Humber Bridge vehicles also use the footpath; they display flashing orange lights so you can easily see them approaching.
We’re delighted to be part of the King Charles III England Coast Path (KCIIIECP) – an exciting national project that will become the longest managed coastal path in the world once completed. If you plan to enjoy a walk along this scenic route, please check our footpath opening times in advance to make the most of your visit.
Make your journey across the bridge an interactive learning adventure by trying our Video Tour.
Here’s how it works: scan the QR codes along the west footpath to unlock videos packed with fun facts, stories, and historic footage. Curious kids and adults alike will enjoy it. Each video features full narration, subtitles, and audio description. For the best experience, bring headphones, as the bridge can get quite noisy.
