Coastal walk in East Yorkshire

This event will open for bookings on July 4th. We are trialling delayed booking for all day walks in the Northeast and Yorkshire Region to reduce waiting lists and late cancellations. We know that a significant number of members who book places on our walks eventually decide not to attend the event. This causes long waiting lists and makes it harder for those who wish to attend an event to obtain a place. If you are interested in attending this event, please click the ‘bookmark’ button to add this page to your list of bookmarked events. This will make it easier for you to find the page when the event opens for bookings.

Spurn point is what geologists call a 'spit', formed from the movement of sand and rocks down the coast by the tide over many years. This has resulted in a peninsula jutting out into the Humber estuary offering fantastic panoramic views across the north sea, mouth of the Humber, Northern Lincolnshire and west up the Humber estuary.

We'll take a walk out and back along the peninsula, which is a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve. In addition to the wildlife, throughout the walk we'll see reminders of the impact that WWII had on the area (e.g. tank traps, ruins of buildings, anti-aircraft gun mountings).

Those of you who wish can visit the Easington Lighthouse (the tallest in Northern England) if it is open on the day. Access to the ground floor is free but entry to the upper levels is £4 adult/£3 concessions. Please see the website for further details.

Continuing on, we'll go past the RNLI station houses and boat launch which, sadly after 213 years of sea rescues, is now closed. Toward the end of the peninsula we'll see the ruins of Spurn Point gun batteries and other defence-related structures.

There is a visitor centre and cafe near the car park, which has toilet facilities.

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on the parts of the reserve that we will be accessing.
