Skateraw Harbour was one of a number of outlets for the districts rich limestone workings. It was built between 1799 and 1825 by two local farmers, Brodie of Thorntonloch and Lee of Skateraw, to ship limestone to ironworks in Devon and then return with coal. Prior to this it had been noted on maps that there was an anchorage in the area 'for barks in summer time.' The harbour went out of use between 1853 and 1892 - it was probably overrun by the sea.

Fisherrow
The Fisherrow fishwives in their distinctive blue and white striped dresses, carrying their wicker creels, were a familiar sight in the streets of Edinburgh, throughout the Lothians, and as far as Galashiels after the advent of the railways. These ladies were important income providers in the Fisherrow community, and came to symbolise the strength of character of the community.

An Ancient Manorial Court
Once a year a group of men meet in a local hostelry in Robin Hoods Bay and under the watchful eye of the Lord of the Manor of Fyling they collect rent from local tenants, impose fines and discuss manorial business before repairing to the dining room for a good dinner. They are continuing a tradition which dates back hundreds of years. -
Seaside Sculptures
Walk the North Sea Trail to the south of Saltburn and after a few kilometres you may notice a large metel fish to the side of the cliff path, walk a little further and an unusual metal post can be seen. If you have missed these two sculptures you will certainly see the third! A 2.2 metre (7ft) diameter ring of metal standing on edge with ten charms suspended from its rim.
