Saltburn-by-the-Sea,
formerly an upmarket resort for Victorians, the small town
is just south of its larger neighbour, Redcar.
Features
remain from the Victorian era, the cliff lift, pier, and the
formal gardens.
With the
beach protected by the high, 365 foot headland, and the coastal
scenery continuing south towards Whitby, you can walk the
North Yorkshire & Cleveland Heritage Coast.
The rugged
coastline hides its secret illicit trading history, visit
the Saltburn Smugglers Heritage Centre in restored fisherman's
cottages for the full story.
Quite
a lot to see and do up and down the coast.
