After our walk from Danby we decided to go to a town by the sea called Saltburn which neither of us had visited before. It turned out to be a really good choice as it has a pier, colourful beach huts, a long sandy beach and a water balance cliff tramway to get from the village down to the beach. And of course a very big blue sky!
The cliff tramway is a water balanced funicular and was built in 1884. Everything to do with the tramway looks so well looked after and looks smart in its red and cream colour theme and stained glass windows.
If you take the ride down you arrive on the promenade straight opposite the pier.
We walked along the promenade until we found a row of brightly painted beach huts. The paintwork was glossy and the brightest shades of pinks, reds and many others. They were so well looked after which isn’t the case everywhere. Each one had a name sign above their door and a few were used as a beach shop and others boasted faded signs depicting their purposes.
From the beach huts we took stone steps down to the beach and wandered back towards the pier following the line where sand met pebbles. Here we found some beautiful pebbles and sea glass.
The beach is certainly a great place to fly a kite especially with a bright blue sky above.
