The delightful coastal town Saltburn-by-the-sea bestows plenty of Victorian charm and thrills. From the water balanced funicular on the cliffs down to the last remaining pier in Yorkshire, Saltburn promises its visitors an authentic seaside experience!
There’s plenty to entertain too as the town has an up-and-coming arts scene, lots of restaurants and plenty of daring water sports to try.
From our house, Saltburn can be reached by walking a section of the Cleveland Way. This is an off-road walk in beautiful forest and takes only 45 minutes! Please access the path on the newer estate behind the house. Phone maps will show you the way if on walking setting.

Enjoy cocktails and crafts beers in the Monk or a drink in the more traditional pub-The Ship Inn. There’s also a Morrisons supermarket café or Wetherspoons for cheap eats.
Staithes (20 minutes drive)
Staithes is a charming, traditional fishing village and the perfect place to enjoy some time beside the sea. It embodies many of the reasons why seaside towns hold such appeal. Once one of the busiest fishing ports on the North-East coast, Staithes boasts a long proud history as the one-time home of famous Royal Navy captain and explorer, Captain James Cook. It has many shops on the charming, cobbled streets and the famous Cod and Lobster pub on the corner of the Harbour front.
Whitby (30 minutes drive)
Whitby is constantly being voted as one of the UK’s top seaside destinations for holidaymakers. This magical fishing port perched on the edge of the North York Moors attracts tourists from all over the World.
Whitby is a charming town that rests at the mouth of the river Esk. The well-known explorer Captain Cook began his famous sailing adventures here and you will find a replica of his ship the HMS Endeavour in the harbour. Also, writer Bram Stoker experienced a stroke of genius in Whitby when he first conceived the idea for his classic novel Dracula. The town also has continued fame for its reputation as one of the UK’s primary fishing ports. Lots to see and do, but can also be very busy in peak season, so we’d advise to get there early.
