David Craven often jokes to people about how to get to Spurn Point.

"You drive through Hull and carry on till the end of the world," he says of the remote peninsula at the tip of the East Yorkshire coast.

Craven works for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT), which is celebrating 30 years of the Spurn nature reserve.

During that time, the trust has had to deal with the tides of change, from days when residents would hang out their washing outside a neat row of homes, to allowing nature to reclaim the area.
