Ravenser Odd is the Atlantis of the East Riding. A medieval town built on the sandbanks of the Humber estuary, it now sits below the waves.

The Township and port of Ravenser Odd was located at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. It was settled on the north shore very close to the tip of the sand spit known today as Spurn Point. Its existence was fleeting, but its historical significance much outweighs the expectation from somewhere now forgotten. The name Ravenser comes from the Old Norse roughly translating to ‘Raven’s Tongue’ referring to the look of the sandbank promontory. Ravenser Odd was founded in 1235, by the Count of Aumale.
