We walk along Alkborough Flats and follow the River Humber taking in views of the Humber Bridge and the distant Yorkshire Wolds. As we return we have an opportunity to see where the Rivers Trent and Ouse join - the Confluence - which forms the Humber Estuary, also known as The Trent Falls. Back in Alkborough we make a short stop at the intriguing Julian’s Bower - a 12th century Turf Maze - where we have our final view of the River Trent.
