Welcome . . . to the Saltburn Cliff Lift. A funicular railway located in Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
It is the oldest operating water-balance cliff lift in the World.
Originally a hoist system, built in 1870, carried Victorian gentry to the sea and pier below in a cage. When this became unsafe a water-balanced cliff list was built to replace it in 1887. It still moves up the 71% incline today in a 55 second journey.
