Howden Dyke Lee is a coastal marsh located in the county of Yorkshire, England. It is situated near the village of Howden and lies on the eastern side of the River Ouse. The marsh is known for its extensive saltings, which are areas of land that are regularly flooded by the tides.

The landscape of Howden Dyke Lee is characterized by wide expanses of salt marshes, mudflats, and reed beds. These habitats are home to a diverse range of wildlife, including various bird species, invertebrates, and plants that are adapted to the brackish conditions. The area is particularly important for migratory birds, which use the marshes as a stopover during their long journeys.

The marsh also serves as a vital natural defense against coastal erosion and flooding. The salt marsh vegetation helps to stabilize the soil and dissipate the energy of waves, protecting the surrounding land from the erosive forces of the sea.

Howden Dyke Lee is popular among nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and photographers who visit to observe the rich biodiversity and capture the stunning vistas. The marsh is also used for grazing livestock, which helps to maintain the unique salt-marsh ecosystem.

Overall, Howden Dyke Lee is a significant coastal marsh in Yorkshire, offering a haven for wildlife, playing a crucial role in coastal protection, and providing a picturesque landscape for visitors to enjoy.
