The following table sets out the various types of land use and disuse that border the glacially deposited coastline of the East Riding of Yorkshire, from the ‘buried cliff’ at Sewerby (TA 19876 68485, image) to monitoring profile 122, at the northern end of the Spurn peninsula (TA 42009 14849, image).
Compilation of content is drawn from coordinates (calculation) and aerial imagery (identification and measurement).
Land that lies behind defences is not included in the descriptions. Land use may change, and coastal erosion will alter situations. Whilst every care has been taken in preparation of the data, no liability is assumed.
A. The total length of the coastline including defences is 61,782 metres (61.78 kilometres or 38.39 miles).
B. The total length of unprotected coastline is 51,827 metres (51.83 kilometres or 32.20 miles).
