Things to do

The estuary is a rich source of food for migrating birds in Spring and Autumn, and the prospect of unusual and rare examples draws the birding fraternity in their droves. Being a relatively flat and tranquil area makes walking a real pleasure. It is quite possible to see most of the peninsula from the footpaths and bank tops.

At the very end of Spurn Point is the home of the Humber Lifeboat Station. This is the only full time crew in the country, and until recently the crew’s families lived on the peninsula. The year 2010 was a special one as it marked the 200th anniversary of the lifeboat station at Spurn.

Changes to the Landscape at Kilnsea.

During December 2013, the area suffered from a Storm Surge which washed away half a mile of the road down to Spurn, and the dunes protecting it, in the area known as the Narrows. This means that access to Spurn itself (though not Kilnsea) is now on foot or bicycle. Although this has made access more difficult, it is a much more rewarding experience as there are far fewer people down there now. The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust run “Spurn Safaris” at weekends with their 4 wheel drive vehicle, to take visitors down the Point, and include entry to the newly refurbished Lighthouse. Booking is essential, tel: 01904 659570, or 01964 650313, or by www.ywt.org.uk
