Saltburn Cliff Tramway

Having a ride on the Saltburn Cliff Tramway.

A view from the top of the Cliff Tramway

Last September we had a brilliant day out in Salturn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire. Before playing the Saltburn Minigolf course we took a ride on the Saltburn Cliff Tramway down to the promenade.

It's always nice to follow a brown tourist sign

The Saltburn Cliff Tramway is an iconic part of Saltburn-by-the-Sea and you get a wonderful view of the pier and the seaside from it.

Last September we had a wonderful day out in Salturn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire and after playing the Saltburn Minigolf course on the promenade we headed along the seafront for a ride on the Saltburn Miniature Railway.

Crazy Golf course opening in Saltburn-by-the-Sea

There's a new minigolf course opening in Saltburn-by-the-Sea in 2016! Great news.

The team at UrbanCrazy are building the 10-hole layout that will be located on Saltburn Promenade in North Yorkshire.

We visited Saltburn-by-the-Sea in March 2014. The new Crazy Golf course will be located on a spot on the prom to the right of the famous funicular railway (or to the left if you're looking out to sea)

UrbanCrazy have designed and built many great miniature golf courses and we've managed to play most of them on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We're looking forward to a return to Yorkshire and Saltburn for a round or two next year.

We've visited 84 courses this year, including some landmark visits on our tour. We reckon there are around 50 more courses for us to visit - but with new courses opening up who knows when we'll finish!

Check out the UrbanCrazy website for more info on the business - they hire out portable courses too.

One of UrbanCrazy's temporary Crazy Golf courses was on the foreshore in Bridlington this year. It looked great
