Saltburn is a little seaside town in North Yorkshire
just a few miles from Middlesbrough and is filled with Victorian charm and
smuggler legends. The pier is the last one remaining on the
North East coast, with only around 50 pleasure piers surviving in the country.
The famous cliff lift has also been attracting tourists for years. The valley
gardens are home to a mini railway, a tea room and stunning Italian gardens.
The
coastline from Whitby to Saltburn is famed for its smuggler folklore. Remote
coastal communities were ideal for smugglers as it was easy for contraband to
pass from house to house with no risk of detection. Saltburn was a haven for
smugglers with its huge cliffs and coves.
