The Neighborhood:
Carlin How is a small village located in North Yorkshire, just four miles from the popular seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. The village is home to convenient amenities including a convenience store, a social club and a number of takeaways. When staying here, you’ll be ideally situated to explore beauty spots in North Yorkshire including the coastline and the North York Moors. The Railway Retreat is a 30-minute walk from Skinningrove beach so you’re within walking distance of the sea.

Head to Saltburn and take the oldest functioning cliff lift in the UK down to the promenade and you’ll arrive at the 208-metre pier which stretches out into the sea. The promenade has numerous shops, takeaways, cafes, restaurants, and the Pier’s amusement arcade for the kids. The long sandy shores are overlooked by colourful boutique beach huts and high cliffs tower in the distance.

Saltburn has plenty of beautiful walks too. The Valley Gardens are a maze of paths and tracks which wind through the flowers and woodland. If you want to explore further, The Cleveland Way National Trail is over 100 miles long and the lovely Saltburn is featured. If you fancy a 17.5 mile jaunt, start at Saltburn and walk your way to Sandsend. This walk is a great way to explore the North Yorkshire coastline and the views are beautiful!

Whitby is also within a 30-minute drive from the village. Walk along Church Street and you’ll wind up at the East bank where you’ll find narrow mediaeval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

Walk over the swing bridge which sits over the River Esk and you’ll find yourself at the West side of town. It’s here you can discover cosy pubs, fun arcades and even more fish restaurants! Continue along the lively road until you reach the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.
