SALTBURN’S historic Cliff Tramway will re-open for the summer on Saturday at 10.30am.

The Grade II listed tramway welcomes more than 150,000 users every year as it transports people from the upper and lower promenade of the seaside resort.

The tramway is the oldest working water-balanced funicular in the world and underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2018 to keep it in working order.

Visit England recently awarded the attraction its Quality Assured Visitor Attraction award, noting ‘excellent standards of customer service’, the ‘kiosk was maintained to an excellent standard’ and ‘standards of cleanliness were very high in all areas’.

The Tramway can now display the Quality Assured Visitor Attraction sign.
