Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Saltburn Pier, opened in 1869, is the last surviving pier on the Yorkshire coast — a slim iron walkway of about 200m reaching out over the surf. Storms and ship strikes have shortened it more than once from its original length, but it’s still a fine stroll and a favourite with sea anglers. It sits right below the cliff lift and the town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
