Spring Guided Walks

Spring is one of the most exciting times of year at Spurn. As the days lengthen and the weather begins to warm, the area comes alive with migrating birds arriving from across Europe and beyond. Our Triangle Treks are a relaxed and enjoyable way to experience this special time of year and explore one of the best bird migration sites in the country.

These guided walks take place around the “Triangle” area of Spurn, an excellent spot for watching migration and discovering a wide range of wildlife. The route takes in a mix of farmland, hedgerows and coastal habitat, all of which can attract birds moving along the peninsula. Depending on the day, we might encounter anything from wheatears and warblers to birds of prey passing overhead, as well as the resident wildlife that calls the area home.

The walks are led by members of the Spurn Bird Observatory team, who will help point out birds and other wildlife, explain what’s happening during the spring migration period, and share a bit about the history and work of the Observatory. Whether you are new to birdwatching or already have some experience, the walks are designed to be relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and enjoy the surroundings.

Triangle Treks take place on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays between 28 April and 7 June, running from 10:30am until around 1:30pm. The pace is gentle, with regular stops to watch birds and take in the landscape.

Tickets cost £15 per person, with a discounted rate of £10 for Friends of Spurn. We also offer 20% off for visitors arriving by bike or public transport, as part of our effort to encourage greener travel to the peninsula.

If you’re looking for a relaxed way to experience Spurn in spring, learn more about bird migration, and spend a few hours exploring the area with knowledgeable guides, these walks are a great way to do it.
