Discover Spurn on our walking tours

There’s nowhere quite like Spurn, where the changing currents of the mighty River Humber meet the turbulent waters of the North Sea. This constantly changing environment is the perfect place for a plethora of wonderful wildlife to thrive.

Join Yorkshire Wildlife Trust guides on our new walking tour to explore spectacular Spurn and learn more about the sensational species that call it home. Find out about what it takes to create and maintain delicate habitats and the challenges of life on the edge, where nothing stays the same for long – and where history has often been more dramatic than fiction.

The tour starts and ends at the Discovery Centre and last around 90 minutes, with plenty of stops along the way.

Our Wild Wander is the perfect introduction to Yorkshire’s Land’s End. You’ll find out:

How Yorkshire Wildlife Trust looks after wildlife and its habitats today, including pioneering work to bring back lost and threatened species.

How Spurn was formed and continues to shift shape

The remarkable wildlife you can see here, including epic migration journeys and the rarities that birders flock to see

The amazing human history of this precarious peninsula, including the lighthouses and lifeboats, and the incredible true story of a town lost to the sea

(please note the tours aren’t suitable for young children).
