Direction Arrows - Spurn Point, UK - Direction and Distance Arrows on Waymarking.com

"Spurn is a narrow sand tidal island located off the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber Estuary. It was a spit with a semi-permanent connection to the mainland, but a storm in 2013 made the road down to the end of Spurn impassable to vehicles at high tide.

The island is over three miles (five kilometres) long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, and as little as 50 yards (45 metres) wide in places. The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and two disused lighthouses. It forms part of the civil parish of Easington.

Spurn Head covers 113 hectares (280 acres) above high water and 181 hectares (450 acres) of foreshore. It has been owned since 1960 by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and is a designated national nature reserve, heritage coast and is part of the Humber Flats, Marshes and Coast Special Protection Area." link

To get to this point it is necessary to walk or cycle three miles from The Discovery Visitor Centre at the northern end of the spit. Alternatively it is possible to take a trip on a converted army 4 wheel vehicle known as a Unimog. link
