The only one I know is Far Ings, which gets some decent reports. It's only 8 or 9 miles east along the Humber but to get there by road from Blacktoft you're forced to travel for about an hour what with the rivers being in the way. Lots of gravel pits and plenty of hides, though I haven't gotten there myself, always felt like devoting the travel time to Blacktoft instead.
There is of course Spurn if you don't might eating up the miles. For us it's normally a coach trip destination, still it's one of the premier birding sites in Britain, somewhere to visit at least once if you can.
