Walking is a popular activity and there is now an emerging network of long distance footpaths and local rights of way. With almost 1,000 miles (over 1500 km) of public rights of way in the East Riding this complex web of footpaths, bridleways and byways is available for public enjoyment. There are a number of national and international areas of wildlife and ecological importance in the area, including Bempton Cliffs, Spurn and the Humber Flats and Marshes which have been included in the network of footpaths.
