Discover Saltburn-By-The-Sea

Saltburn-By-The-Sea offers several specific points to consider when planning your trip: the beach, historic structures, the cliff landscape and named leisure attractions.

Coast, cliffs and the Cleveland Way

The beach at Saltburn-By-The-Sea consists of sand and pebbles. If you are looking for a coastal setting for your stay, this composition is a specific point to consider when choosing your destination. The Cleveland Way reaches the coast at Saltburn-By-The-Sea. For travellers who want to include a long-distance walking trail in their choice of destination, this adds another coastal connection to the beach.

Hunt Cliff is of regional importance as a nesting site for kittiwakes and other seabirds, including fulmars and cormorants. Hunt Cliff Reserve forms part of the cliffs near Saltburn. Anyone interested in seabirds will find a specific natural attraction here; the named species give the cliff landscape its own distinctive character alongside its coastal setting.

Pier and historic tramway

Saltburn Pier dates from 1867 to 1869 and was the first pier in the north-east of England. Saltburn Cliff Tramway opened in 1884 to replace a vertical hoist. Together, the two structures offer different ways to explore the town's history: the pier represents an early period in coastal construction, while the tramway reflects a later change in vertical freight transport.

A ride on Saltburn Cliff Tramway is another possible experience: visitors can enjoy views of the coast along the way. Its operation depends on local conditions. This makes the tramway a particularly specific point to consider for travellers who want to take the town's history into account alongside the landscape when choosing where to stay.

Saltburn Valley Gardens and activities

Facilities in Saltburn Valley Gardens include orienteering, tea rooms, Italian gardens, Saltburn Miniature Railway and a playground. The miniature railway runs the full length of the gardens. This brings a range of different attractions together, with the railway running throughout the entire site. Some facilities may operate seasonally; if a particular attraction is important to you, check whether it is operating at the time of your visit.
