  • On our second visit to Saltburn by the Sea we had a walk down the seafront and found this funicular cliff tramway.

    Thank you so much for generously sharing. I last travelled on the cliff railway over 50 years ago. The fare was 2d (pre-decimalisation) to go down and 3d to go up. I am looking forward to a return later this summer. Happy days!

      Hi John.Enjoy your trip, perhaps it will cost a little more than 2 1/2p for the return trip these days.Don't forget to have a ride on the miniature railway as well....Regards Chris

    Riding this on a day out to saltburn was always a big treat as a kid! If we were good we could get it up the cliff at the end of the day instead of having to walk it, tired after a day of playing on the beach!

      Lovely memories! Better to ride up than to walk.

      @@wooltman I always preferred going down! It felt like it was faster and much more exciting! Going up was slow and very creaky, some of those noises got pretty scary sometimes 😂

    Very interesting. Looks like it's one of those that work by means of water ballast. I love the ship's wheel that controls the whole thing. Love the stained glass too!

    It's tiny! But gives you a life perspective going down..especially on a windy day. Lot like The Tardis without interior refurbishment, basic but brilliant.

      There is a car park next to the M/Railway,i'm sure they have blue badge spots....Then just a short walk to the Cliff Railway.....Check before you go to see if it is operating....Cheers Chris

      You must make a visit,also have a ride on the Miniature Railway just around the bay from this cliff railway,makes your trip worthwhile.
