The Hudson Way is a 10 miles (16 km) walking and cycling route in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The route follows a disused railway line between the market towns of Market Weighton and Beverley.
The path follows the route of the York to Beverley Line that was opened in 1865 and later connected at Beverley Junction to the Hull to Scarborough Line to provide a direct route between York and Kingston upon Hull. The line closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching report. The route is named after George Hudson, the railway engineer who built the first part of the line between York and Market Weighton, before his downfall.[1]
