Saltburn by the Sea, small town and watering-place with ry. sta. (Saltburn), Marske near Redcar par., North-Riding Yorkshire, 4 miles SE. of Redcar and 6 miles NE. of Guisbrough, pop. 1646; P.O., T.O., 2 Banks. Saltburn dates from 1860, when the railway was opened. It is a well-built place, situated on lofty cliffs facing the sea, and combines the charms of maritime and inland scenery. Among its attractions are the sands, extending about 8 miles along the coast; the new promenade pier, 1500 ft. long; and the prospect from the iron girder-bridge, 130 ft. high, which spans the glen traversed by the Skelton Beck. Numerous places of interest are within easy distance of Saltburn.
