Our Spurn Military Safari will take you on a memorable journey across this unique landscape aboard the Unimog, a specially adapted ex-military, 4x4 truck. Our expert Military Historian will tell tales of the peninsula’s fascinating military and maritime history, bringing to life the fascinating stories of Spurn during both World Wars.
