A pier is one of the reasons we do love to be beside the seaside. Let’s hear it then for the Year of the Pier....Saltburn pier was the first iron pier to be built on the North East Coast. Its history is closely tied with the town’s development and identity.When it opened in 1869, Saltburn pier was an immediate success, with over 50,000 visitors during its first six months. Cafes, ice-cream kiosks, cloakrooms and a theatre for dancing, concert shows and meetings were added over coming years.

It was voted ‘pier of the year’ in 2009.Access to the pier is via the famous Saltburn Cliff Lift, a funicular with a height of 120 feet and a track length of 207 feet .
