Redcar
is a
seaside town situated on the North East coast of Yorkshire, 10 miles east of Middlesbrough,
5 miles
west of Saltburn-by-the-Sea and about 20 miles north
of Whitby. To the south are Guisborough and
the beautiful
North Yorkshire Moors National Park, and to the
east is Markse-by-the Sea and Saltburn.
Encompassing Redcar are 8-miles of sand and rocks to walk
along, stretching from the estuary of the River Tees to
Saltburn.
Coming from the north, south, or west,
(see Fig. 1 below) the following route is suggested:
1. Take
the A19 until the junction with the A174
(signposted Redcar).
2. Along
the A174 for about 8 miles to a R. Abt, and go straight
on passing Wilton Chemical Works on the left to the next
Round-about.
3. Take
the 1st exit from the Round-about along Kirkleatham Lane
(A1042), and then after about ¾ mile
turn right into West Dyke Road (Fig. 2 below).
4. Continue
along West Dyke Road for just less than 1 mile (Fig. 3 below)
and turn right into Edenhall Grove (there is a signpost
to Ann Charlton's Lodge). The Gospel Hall is 100 yards on
the left.
If travelling from
the east or south-east take the A174 from Saltburn
through the outskirts of Marske and
continue on the A174 until the junction with Kirkleatham
Lane (A1042) - see Fig.2. After 0.5 miles turn right into
West Dyke Road (Fig.3) towards Redcar. Edenhall Grove is
about 1 mile along on the right and the Gospel Hall
can be easily seen from the junction with West Dyke Road. |
