Redcar, Saltburn & Guisborough

Destination

At the popular seaside resort of Redcar, where fishing cobles land on the beach to sell their daily catch, you can experience the thrilling finishes at Redcar Racecourse or pick up bargains along the pedestrianised High Street. The Spa town of Saltburn is well know for its Victorian Buildings, railway station, water powered cliff lift and impressive pier that extends 200 metres from the shoreline. The ancient market town of Guisborough holds many hidden gems to delight every visitor. The tall tower of Guisborough Priory sits admirably within the town, offering an outstanding example of gothic architecture.
