Jacks Place

Jacks Place sits just outside Goole, a proper local landmark that most visitors to the area completely walk past without knowing what they're looking at. It's a historic spot with real character - the kind of place that makes you wonder about all the people who've stopped here over the years.

The location itself is the main draw. You get a genuine sense of Yorkshire flatness here, with wide skies and that particular light that comes across the Humber region. It's not going to take hours - expect twenty minutes to an hour depending on how much you want to linger and soak it up. This is one for people who like exploring off the beaten track rather than ticking boxes.

Historically minded visitors will find it interesting enough to warrant a stop when passing through Goole, though it's the kind of place where the setting matters more than any single feature. Families with young kids might find it underwhelming on its own, but it works well as part of a broader wander around the area.

If you're camping at Between Rivers Camping just five miles away, it's absolutely worth factoring into an afternoon's exploration. The flat terrain makes walking or cycling between the two straightforward. There's no entry fee as far as can be determined, and opening hours aren't restricted - it's genuinely one of those places you can visit whenever suits you. Best visited when the light's decent rather than in heavy rain, when the landscape gets a bit bleak.
