Brough Haven and the Humber foreshore

The tidal inlet at the foot of Brough where the Welton Beck runs out into the Humber, with the boatyard and the sailing club on one side and mudflat, saltmarsh and reedbed on the other, reached by the lane past the Ferry Inn. This is not a sandy resort beach but it is the closest thing to open shore in this patch, and it carries no seasonal dog ban of any kind: East Riding of Yorkshire Council's dog control order names only Bridlington North Beach, Bridlington South Beach, Hornsea Beach and Withernsea Beach, all of them out on the North Sea coast, so nothing on the Humber shore is restricted at any time of year. The estuary tide here comes in fast across flat mud and the channel is deep, so this is a place for a lead near the water. The old Roman crossing at Petuaria was on this same reach.
