Spurn, Tidal island at East Riding of Yorkshire, England
The peninsula extends over three miles into the North Sea, forming a narrow strip of land with sections only 50 yards wide.
The area previously contained the medieval port of Ravenspurn, which disappeared beneath the waves due to coastal erosion during past centuries.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1895 under Thomas Matthews design, received recognition as Lighthouse of the Year in 2023 from the Association of Lighthouse Keepers.
Visitors can reach the nature reserve via the number 71 Spurn Explorer bus from Hull Interchange or by car following the A1033 and B1445.
A tidal surge in 2013 transformed the peninsula into an island, making the road to Spurn Point impassable during high tide periods.
