1. Huntcliff

Travelling down the coast towards Saltburn from the north, the relatively flat coastline terminates abruptly when you arrive at Huntcliff Nab, a great promontory which projects out into the North Sea. Dominating the coastline a mile to the east of Saltburn, Huntcliff is a vertical sea cliff standing some 365ft above sea level and is a site familiar to all visitors of the town. Saltburn can trace its history to at least 369 AD when the Romans were in occupation. Huntcliff was one of a number of Roman signalling stations situated along the Yorkshire coast which were built as watchtowers to protect against the threat of Anglo-Saxon raids from Denmark and Germany. By 410 AD the Roman's had deserted Britain leaving it to the mercy of the raiders. Saltburn's Roman tower was defended by a group of Romanised Britons, who met with a sad end when it was eventually overrun in the fourth century A.D. The raiders brutally murdered them all and dumped their bodies in a nearby well, where they were finally discovered in an excavation in 1923. The skeletons of fourteen people, men, women and children, were found and were clearly the victims of murder. The site of the earthwork remains of the old Roman fort has now disappeared through erosion, slipping into the sea, although its position is marked with a sign on the top of Huntcliff Nab today. The cliff face is of regional importance for nesting kittiwakes and other seabirds such as fulmar and cormorant. These can be spotted from the beach at Saltburn, or watched from the cliff top as they soar on thermals or return to their nests with food for their young. The kittiwakes can be distinguished from other gulls by their ink-dipped black wing-tips. In summer, the cliff top provides a splash of colour as many wildflowers begin to show on the coastal grasslands, including the scarce dyer’s greenweed, three species of orchid, and other plants such as spiny restharrow, sea plantain and wild carrot. Seawatching in autumn from Huntcliff can give sightings of Manx and sooty shearwaters, several of the rarer divers and grebes and plenty of the commoner seabirds, such as gannets, terns and gulls. Grey seal is frequently spotted and harbour porpoise and minke whale have also been recorded. The cliffs are also of interest for their house martin colony – a rare example of this bird nesting in its original, natural habitat.

2. Portrack

Portrack is a housing estate in Stockton-on-Tees. It is situated close to Billingham opposite Thornaby and just West of Middlesbrough. Portrack was the site of a large municipal incinerator which took in and burned waste from all over Teesside. The incinerator was closed in 1996 and demolished in 1999 and 2000. Portrack Marsh is one of the area’s most important wildlife sites given its location at the very heart of Teesside. The wetland nature reserve attracts hundreds of birds each year and it provides a home to an exciting variety of mammals, amphibians, insects and wildflowers.

3. Doris

On 26th September 1930 the Danish schooner Doris was driven towards Longscar Rocks off Hartlepool, dragging her anchors in a gale and heavy seas. Nine of the crew were rescued by the Hartlepool Lifeboat but the Doris became a total wreck and after salvage its remains are now embedded in the sands at North Gare.
