Auto coirdinates

The Auto Coordinates landmark sits just outside Brough in East Yorkshire, marking a curious spot that's become something of a talking point among locals and passing travellers. It's essentially a navigational waypoint - the sort of thing that appeals to people who enjoy finding the unusual corners of the map, whether that's via GPS, old-fashioned coordinates, or just pure accident.

What you get here depends entirely on your outlook. If you're into quirky roadside finds and the stories behind obscure markers, it's worth a quick stop. The setting gives you a decent sense of the East Yorkshire landscape - flat, open, unglamorous in the best way. Don't expect facilities or fanfare. This is a landmark for people who appreciate things for what they are rather than what they've been tarted up to be.

Families with young children might find it a bit underwhelming on its own, though it works perfectly as part of a longer walk or drive through the area. History enthusiasts will want context - the coordinates themselves tell you something about how we navigate and map space, which has its own appeal.

Staying in the area? William's Den and Little Wold Away Glamping are both excellent nearby options if you're basing yourself in East Yorkshire. The landmark pairs well with exploring Brough itself and the broader landscape. Allow ten minutes, maybe twenty if you're the type to linger and take photographs. No admission charge that we're aware of - it's just there.
