Descripción:La ciudad de Hull se está convirtiendo rápidamente en un punto de acceso al turismo creciente, ya que ofrece un montón de lugares de interés y una escena social próspera. Al llegar a la ciudad de Hull, se puede dar un paseo alrededor de su zona antigua de la ciudad, donde usted podrá ver a lo largo sus callejuelas, si la caminata es muy larga usted puede detenerse por un suculento almuerzo en uno de los pubs tradicionales ingleses, antes de llegar a la galardonada zona de los museos. Debemos decirles que Kingston upon Hull o Hull son lo mismo, está ciudad es llamada en cualquiera de las dos formas.

¿Dónde ir de compras? Para una jornada de compras usted tiene el complejo comercial Quay, o el bullicioso Mercado Trinidad. Tal vez te va a gustar algo de comer en el puerto deportivo, o ir a uno de los restaurantes de lujo en la calle Princes Street.

Los paseos en barco desde el muelle de Victoria son siempre divertidos para las familias y los niños, este es realmente un lugar que se destaca de los demás. En el verano, Kingston Upon Hull alberga muchos eventos emocionantes que se han organizado en el Parque del Este y son célebres las presentaciones del Motor Show, donde casi 1.000 vehículos clásicos se reúnen en el mes de agosto para exposiciones.

A pesar de la devastación causada por la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Hull ha logrado conservar gran parte de su carácter histórico y su patrimonio, que se complementan en la actualidad por un conjunto modernas construcciones. Situado a las afueras del Hull, Fort Paull es una de las fortificaciones más antiguas que quedan en la zona de East Riding of Yorkshire. La construcción de la Universidad de Hull es otro hito histórico importante del siglo 14. Más contemporáneo es el estadio KC (Kingston Communications Stadium), y por supuesto, el Puente de Humber, que atraviesa la ría y se conecta con Lincolnshire.

Para los amantes del arte e historia, tienen las presentaciones de los museos del Hull, que se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad y cuentan con entrada gratuita, realmente no hay ninguna buena razón para no visitar estos museos. Los mejores son los museos de Hull, East Riding, el Museo Marítimo y el Museo de Streetlife de Transporte. También hay un par de barcos fascinante en el museo de la ciudad, cuyo nombre es Museo Corsario Ártico. La historia de la industria ballenera y los peligros pasados se presentan en el Estuario de Humber. La lucha contra la esclavitud se puede ver en la Casa de Wilberforce, la cual es otra visita obligada.

Los turistas que se encuentren en la ciudad de Hull, tendrán acceso a los pueblos vecinos, ciudades y grandes ciudades, las cuales están bien conectadas por carretera y ferrocarril. Incluso es posible coger un tren entre Hull y Manchester y hacer un viaje por ferrocarril rápidamente, que probablemente le durará poco más de un par de horas.

12 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Hull

Written by Bryan Dearsley

The maritime city of Kingston-Upon-Hull, usually known simply as Hull, lies on the north bank of the Humber, a tidal estuary that cuts through East Yorkshire from the North Sea. While the city doesn't have a cathedral, the Holy Trinity Church is a noted site dating back to the 14th century. It's also home to the Museum Quarter and its many sightseeing opportunities, including Wilberforce House, The Hull and East Riding Museum, and the Maritime Museum. Hull is university town and popular cultural destination, having been selected as the UK City of Culture for 2017.

The town was founded in 1292 by Edward I as "Wyke-upon-Hull" on both banks of the little River Hull, which flows into the Humber here. The town was fortified after receiving its royal charter in 1299 and remains an important port and busy commercial center for the region.

1 Hull Maritime Museum

Located in the former Dock Offices, the Hull Maritime Museum explores the city's seafaring heritage through models, paintings and fishing equipment. Its exhibits extend from the Bronze Age to the present day, and include the city's Arctic whaling heritage, the North Sea fishing industry and maritime trade.

Other marine heritage sites to visit include Hull's last sidewinder trawler, the Arctic Corsair, as well as the Spurn Lightship. Be sure to spend time exploring the city's historic harbor area, which in the Middle Ages stretched between the Drypool Bridge and the Humber. Today, elegant yachts dock in the marina in the former Humber and Railway Dock and at Princes Quay.

3 Trinity House

Whitefriargate leads to the oldest part of Hull and Trinity House, founded in 1369 for the care of sick or needy seamen. From 1456 it was their guild house, and in 1787 the world's first naval school was founded here.

While very much a "working" building, it's well worth including on your Hull sightseeing list due to its numerous artifacts and memorabilia, as well as for a chance to see the students in their traditional 18th century naval uniforms.

Kingston upon Hull, o simplemente Hull, es una ciudad con estatus de Autoridad unitaria de la región histórica de Yorkshire, Inglaterra (Reino Unido). Administrativamente forma parte del condado ceremonial de Yorkshire del Este. Se sitúa en la costa norte de Inglaterra, en la desembocadura del río Hull en el estuario de Humber. La ciudad tiene una considerable importancia en la industria alimenticia.

Historia

La primera colonia surgió de la unión de Hull y Humber y fue fundada por monjes cistercienses de la Abadía de Meaux en el siglo XII con la intención de desarrollar un comercio de lana.

El 1 de abril de 1299 el asentamiento recibe sus primeros derechos como ciudad y su nombre "Kings Towne on the River Hull" por el rey Eduardo I de Inglaterra que necesitaba un puerto en el norte del país en el desarrollo de la guerra contra Irlanda.

El Museo Marítimo

Durante la Guerra Civil Inglesa, Hull, debido a su gran arsenal, jugó un importante papel. A comienzos de la guerra, el 11 de enero de 1642, el rey Carlos I nombró gobernador de Hull al conde de Newcastle. El Parlamento, por su parte, designó a Sir John Hotham, quien en unión con la corporación municipal declaró su apoyo al Parlamento. Negada al rey la entrada en Hull, éste respondió poniendo sitio a la ciudad. Este asedio fue un hecho decisivo que vino a precipitar el conflicto ya que se había abierto entre las fuerzas del Parlamento y las realistas.

El estatus histórico de la ciudad ha cambiado en diversas ocasiones a lo largo de la historia. Como ex distrito, Hull formaba parte del condado de Humberside de 1974 hasta 1996. Cuando éste se disolvió se convirtió en una Autoridad unitaria.
