Testing the Yorkshire peaks for later in the year, and found the place to be amazing, if you're considering this with a break midway the Station Inn is great

The Tees Transporter Bridge has played an important role in the area's history for over a century and continues to Provide an important and unique crossing over the River Tees. In recent years the Transporter has emerged as a leading historic visitor attraction and is one of the UK's major sites for extreme sports including abseils, bungee jumps and zipslides. In 2011 to mark the Bridge's centenary the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) confirmed a £2.6m award for refurbishment and upgrade work to the Tees Transporter Bridge. The HLF supported Tees Transporter Bridge Visitor Experience Project included the installation of a glass viewing lift to provide improved access to the upper walkway, renovation of the gondola, replacement of the Bridge's motors and the development of state-of-the-art visitor facilities and resources.
If you're into industrial heritage this is a very interesting structure to see... and it's fully working transporting locals, visitors and their cars (or on foot) across the Tees. The car park is free for the first 2 hours which gives you ample time to see round the visitor centre, take a trip across the river to watch the transporter working from the promenade on the other bank and even go on the tour (might be worth booking in advance). The tour (only £5.50) includes walking across the top which gives excellent views of the area. Thankfully, there's a lift up! The guys who run the transporter and those in the visitor centre are all very friendly characters who obviously love their jobs and helped to make our day.

Great piece of engineering over the river which carries the railway. Makes the view over the gorge even more appealing.

We visited Whitby using the North Yorkshire Moors Railway starting from Pickering. A steam train towed us to Grosmont before being changed by a diesel train for the final leg into Whitby Station. The view of the viaduct from the railway was amazing.
