Donna Nook, Nature reserve along Lincolnshire coast, England
The reserve spans over 10 kilometers of coastline between Grainthorpe Haven and Saltfleet, featuring sand dunes, mudflats, and salt marshes near the North Sea.
The name originates from a Spanish Armada ship called The Donna that sank off the headland in 1588, marking this location in maritime records.
The reserve houses 47 breeding bird species and welcomes over 250 recorded species throughout the year, drawing observers from across the United Kingdom.
Visitors can access the site through Stonebridge car park, which provides ramp access and designated spaces for visitors with mobility requirements.
The grey seal colony produces over 2,000 pups annually between October and December, contributing to forty percent of British grey seal populations.
