Barton Far Ings Quarry

Start - Ness End Old Visitors Centre on Far Ings Road, DN18 5RG

1. 1
   Cross Far Ings road diagonally right to a path, cross the footbridge over the drain, following the path between the two lakes.
2. 2
   Approaching some trees which surround the Blow Wells, bear right over a footbridge and along a good path skirting the Blow Wells, then bearing right and passing 3 lakes on the right.
3. 3
   The path emerges into a wide lane, bear left and follow the lane to South Cliff Farm. Here the lane ends at a gate leading into Barton Cliff Quarry - no right of way.
4. 4
   Signs indicate the way along a narrower path, bending right past farm buildings, down across a footbridge over a dyke, then diagonally left up onto the new flood bank of the Chowder Ness inlet.
5. 5
   Continue past the information board along the Humber Bank to a headland where the path swings left.
6. 6
   The Viking Way turns right down steps to a pebbly beach. Bear left uphill on a wide track, merging into a quarry road. Keep right uphill. The road bends right to the last quarry, now used as a police firing range.
7. 7
   This is our destination (a fine viewpoint). Retrace steps to point 8 (point 3 on our outward route).
8. 8
   For the 3.4-mile walk retrace steps 3-2-1. For longer walks continue along the wide land next to the end of Far Ings Road.
9. 9
   For the 3.5 mile walk turn right and walk along Far Ings Road. For the 4.0-mile walk continue ahead to the car park at the riverbank.
10. 10
    Bear right through the kissing gate along the flood bank.
11. 11
    Some steps or a downward curving ramp lead to Ness Farm track, a wide track between hedges. At the end turn right through a gate to the car park.
