Geography of Hull

Situated in the East Coast of England, with coastline spanning from Flamborough to Spurn Point and the Yorkshire Wolds on its doorstep, Hull is enjoys are variety of landscapes. The Yorkshire coastline has some of the most beautiful golden beaches, flanked by towering rocks and cliffs. The Yorkshire dales are an area of contrast, with rolling meadows and hills, as well as dark moors.

Hull itself lies is a busy port lying at the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary and has acted as the gateway to the heart of England since Roman times. The city itself has a very compact lay out and many areas have been pedestrianised, making it easy to explore by foot.

Archaeological digs are still taking place in and around the River Hull, with recent findings showing that the River Hull was moved 80 meters to the east between 1300 and 1800. Today, the River Hull has been tamed with the Hull Tidal Surge Barrier, which was built in 1980, to avoid flooding in the area.

The Humber estuary is the one of the largest of its kind in Britain and although still a major shipping thoroughfare and industrial zone, the area is alive with wildfowl, which is now protected. The Humber is most famous for its Humber Suspension bridge, which was built in 1981. The Humber has a shifting bed and a navigable channel, thus a suspension bridge was chosen not to block the channel. The bridge took 8 years to complete and is a masterpiece of engineering.
