SAVE: Hull – Best Place in the World!
Join SAVE and Heritage Network for a tour of Hull, a compact city which punches well above its weight in built heritage. Following a decade of heritage-led regeneration, the northern port city was named one of National Geographic’s “Best Places to Travel to in the World” in 2026.
This remarkable accolade is in part inspired by Hull’s rich historic environment, which includes one of the country’s best-preserved Old Towns, wedged between post-industrial docksides and an abundant Modernist landscape of 1930s civic architecture and post-war rebuilding. ….
Led by Dr Charlotte Tomlinson, this full-day walking tour will explore how Hull is using heritage as a catalyst for regeneration. Discover projects where historic buildings have been saved, adapted and brought back into use through community action, cultural initiatives and creative reuse, and hear more about the people and organisations helping to shape the city’s future.
