Spurn is the 5 mile long sand bar that stretches South into the mouth of the Humber River in Yorkshire. We visited it on our way out of Yorkshire as we headed to Liverpool for a week.
Looking back, I feel that it ranks up there with the Southwest coast of the Isle of Wight for favorite spot. I'd like to go back just to walk it again.

On the land side is a huge tidal mud flat. The tide is out now, but it must fill fast when the tide comes in.
The old road onto the peninsula is eroded and washed away. Everything on Spurn is washed away.
Something lives in the mud flat.
Critter castings...
Lots of critter castings!
Cycling is a good idea. It's a long walk.
Ominous notices. They leave you with the impression that the sea tends to wash over the whole place every week or two.
A piece of road on the lee side has taken a beating.
The Land of Lost Lobster Traps. This is on the seaward side.
There are an unsurprising amount of military installations along the way.
Another piece of ocean artwork.

Great photos! This looks like a really interesting and varied place. The military installations were quite intriguing.
Are those wind turbines across the water in the photo above the lovely one of Lia?
Yes, there was an offshore wind farm out there that added nicely to the photos.
We didn't get very good photos of the military stuff. We could have spent quite a bit more time there.
