Saltburn on Sea in stormy weather

Over half term we went to Saltburn on Sea, on the North Yorks coast.

There's a fabulous pier

There was an icy wind..
...and the sea was pretty rough

This was the only bit of blue sky

It's a good spot for fishing

Behind the fair is a funicular railway taking people up and down the cliff

I can't resist these!

We started a walk along part of the Cleveland Way...
....past lots of fishing boats.


Hunt Cliff up ahead

The Ship Inn and old fishermen's cottages

This building is called The Mortuary

Looking back towards Saltburn

More bad weather approaching

We carried on to Hunt Cliff

Shortly after this picture, the weather closed in - strong winds, ice, and sleet.  We had to beat a hasty retreat, cutting our planned walk by more than half.

However, we really liked the area, and will be back some day. This is a (somewhat blurred) picture of the Yorkshire tapas I had the previous night at the Spa Hotel. Fish and chips, Scotch egg, toad in the hole, Yorkshire chorizo(!).
Today's walk: a planned 6 mile walk on the Cleveland way turned into a 3 mile out and back walk! Would be fantastic in better weather. Highly recommended, (I would think!)
