SPURN POINT
Spurn Point or Spurn Head on the north bank of the mouth of the Humber Estuary, East Yorkshire, is a long narrow shingle and sand peninsula 5km long, and in places, 50k wide
Spurn Point has one of only two full time manned lifeboat stations in the UK, two lighthouses, and still has the remains of the fort and artillery emplacements used in WW1 and WW2. The whole of the 450 acres (at low tide) of the peninsula is now a bird sanctury and a toll is charged to go onto the site by car.
If you like remote and desolate places Spurn Point is a great place to visit in any weather.
