This was a short break away for a few days and the walk started near The Ship pub in Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Park in the Saltburn Miniature Railway car park – you’ll have to pay!
Climbing up and then along the cliffs… it’s great to see wildflowers in bloom.
It was a day for dramatic clouds and blue skies with seagulls wheeling above:
There’s a fascinating tribute to the industries, interests and trades of the area – mining, fishing and pigeon racing being some of them.
You’ll also see the train line which once linked Saltburn to Skinningrove, but now re-purposed to serve the nearby British Steel plant:
Then the descent to Skinningrove Bay…
Another gorgeous walk, Aidan. The coast looks so unspoilt and those beaches are magnificent. How wonderful they haven’t been commercialized.
Funnily enough it was a heavily industrialised landscape in rhe past but nature has robustly taken over since the end of mining and steelmaking, Val.
Regardless, it’s a top walk and I encourage everyone to try. Just get there early!
