Coastal path to be improved

A coastal path used by tens of thousands of people each year will be improved to make walking along steeper sections easier.

The decision to add stones along the stunningly beautiful coastal path, which is part of the national Cleveland Way and runs south from Saltburn, was made following a regular six month inspection by the Council and the National Trails Officer.

The Council and its partners ensure the path is as safe as possible to use. Signage and fencing is in place at various points along the route to enable safe use of the path without spoiling the natural appeal of these wild and remote areas.

Councillor Barry Hunt, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Housing, said:

“I want to reassure everyone that the Council regularly monitors the coastal path to ensure that it is safe to use and well maintained. It is a beautiful part of the borough that we need to protect and manage with our partners to ensure that it continues to be a popular walking route for everyone.”
