View from Elloughton Hill looking across to the River Humber and Lincolnshire There are wonderful views from up here on a clear sunny day. It is a favourite place to walk and cycle for local folk. Looking beyond the Humber we can see North Lincolnshire. A few years ago, in May 2019 the Tour de Yorkshire Cycle Race passed along this road.
