The Humber Estuary

The Humber Estuary or River Humber is a large tidal estuary on the east coast of Northern England. It is formed at Trent Falls by the confluence of the tidal rivers Ouse and Trent. From there to the North Sea, it forms part of the boundary between the East Riding of Yorkshire on the north bank and North Lincolnshire on the south bank.
