River Humber

The mighty River Humber and its estuary do not strictly fall within the scope of inland waterways but occupy a central role in the waters of the northeast. Navigating the Humber by inland craft is possible but should be studiously planned in advance.

The area is prone to shifting sands, so charts date quickly, and the Humber carries ships of enormous bulk. Associated British Ports, PO Box 1, Port House Hull HU9 5PQ should be consulted at the planning stage. Contact 01482 327171.
