Our adventure to Spurn begins! Walking in the rain with Ben   / king_of.winter   we cross the washover and make it to the peninsula. Spurn Point has a long, diverse and interesting past - both natural and human.

From military tunnels to lifeboat stations and abandoned villages to storm surges, this landscape has a wealth of history to discover. A Railway once ran the entire length of the peninsula, this was destroyed by a storm in 2013.

Spurn was formed from sediment, sand and gravels washing down the dynamic and rapidly eroding Holderness coast in East Yorkshire. These materials were moved along the coast by longshore drift and created a spit between the North Sea and the River Humber. It's a just over three miles long, and as narrow as 60 meters wide in places.
