Redcar - Redcar and Saltburn are neighbours in the Cleveland corner of Yorkshire, and visitors are unanimous in praise of the fine air, broad sands, and picturesque cliffs and ravines, which have made them such high favourites with the people of the northern counties, and might well attract visitors from farther south.

 

This little town lies a few miles south from the mouth of the Tees, and forms, along with the adjoining village of Coatham, a very well-known sea-bathing resort.

 

A sea wall has been constructed, forming a fine terrace 30ft. wide, and there are two promenade piers.

 

The sands at Redcar can nowhere be surpassed in extent, being ten miles in length and a mile broad at low water; they stretch from the Tees mouth to Saltburn, and have been characterized as "smooth as velvet, yet so firm that neither horse nor man leave their imprint on them as they tread the strand."

 

Redcar consists mainly of one long street, with the backs of the houses on one side turned to the sea.

 

A very pretty walk from this charming watering-place is to Coatham Church, built in 1853-54. The stained-glass windows in this church are exceedingly beautiful.

 

Redcar and Saltburn are reached by the Great Northern Railway from London in six or seven hours.

 

As a watering-place, Redcar dates from 1842, since when it has progressed at quite an extraordinary rate, and certainly owes much to its magnificent sweep of sands.

 

The Durham coast extends opposite, and the mouth of the Tees on one side and the hills towards Saltburn on the other form the boundaries of this delightful watering-place.
