Welcome to Sunk Island

Sunk Island is a small, isolated area located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, North Yorkshire. It is a unique place that is surrounded by the River Humber on three sides, making it an island. The island is only accessible by a single road that connects it to the mainland. The island is home to a small community of people who live in a handful of houses and farms. The island is known for its beautiful scenery, wildlife, and peaceful atmosphere.

Sunk Island is a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including wading birds, ducks, and geese. The island is also home to a large population of seals, which can often be seen basking on the banks of the river. The island is a great place to go for a walk or a bike ride, with plenty of quiet roads and paths to explore.

Sunk Island is a place of great historical significance. The island was once a thriving community, with a population of over 500 people. However, in the 17th century, the island was hit by a series of devastating floods, which forced many of the residents to leave. Today, the island is home to a small community of people who are proud of their heritage and the unique place they call home. The island is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of nature.
