Hull has been described by some as Yorkshire jewel in it's crown but it often seems like we are more like Yorkshire's ugly sister. I am of the the latter school I think we are the Jewel in the crown.
But the fact is Hull is often over looked by the rest of Yorkshire and the world let just take the Tour De France that totally stuck to the areas around Leeds and York + Sheffield and totally forgot Hull and East Yorkshire.
OK in many ways our flatness of Hull and East Yorkshire would make for a boring cycle race compared to the route they used but the Humber Bridge would have made and interesting and spectacular section.
So there are reason We where over looked but this is only one example there are many more that I am not going to go into.
Hull the jewel in the crown of Yorkshire
As I said I believe Hull is the Jewel in the crown yes we are flat but that just means it easier to build in Hull it is also easier to walk and cycle around this city. And Hull has one of the largest cycle networks in England. And if you choice to cycle from Hull city centre in about 20-25 minutes you would be in the country side and with two direct cycle route to the coast in the east it easy to get to the coast. (of course it can also be said about travelling in car) inn other words you can get to either the coast or the country side including the Yorkshire Wolds in only a few minutes.
Every city has parks or plazas in the city centre but in the North Hull is the only one to have a city centre green space park. We have the only bridge in the UK that can be ridden will it moves to allow ships to pass.
These are only a small number of reason Hull is Yorkshire jewel in it's crown
