Humber, Tidal estuary in Northern England.
The Humber stretches 38.5 miles from the confluence of Rivers Ouse and Trent to the North Sea, reaching 7 miles wide at its mouth.
The estuary marked the boundary between Northumbria and southern kingdoms during the Anglo-Saxon period, appearing in Ptolemy's ancient geographical records.
Multiple ports along the Humber, including Hull, Grimsby, and Immingham, represent a maritime heritage connecting Yorkshire to international trade routes.
The Humber Bridge spans 4,626 feet across the estuary, connecting the East Riding of Yorkshire to North Lincolnshire for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The estuary processes over 1,500 tonnes of sediment per tide, creating essential habitats for numerous species and making it a key European site for wintering birds.
