It is a scenic route along the Holderness Drain.

The pilot trail was developed in partnership with The Environment Agency, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Living with Water, and Groundwork, and the council said it marks the beginning of a wider plan to link green spaces across the city.

The first section runs 1.2 miles along the Holderness Drain, near Exeter Grove.

Along the trail there are newly planted fruit trees, seating areas, portal stones, and fishing access points along the waters edge.

The southern area features two new fishing pegs located near seating areas.
