Saltburn Gill SSSI

UK Wildlife Trusts

Saltburn Gill SSSI is a secluded woodland reserve located in a picturesque valley that leads to the coast at Saltburn. The area is characterized by a dense canopy of oak and ash trees, providing a rich habitat for wildlife. Visitors can explore the winding paths that traverse the valley, although access is limited to foot traffic due to the natural terrain. Parking options are available nearby, but facilities are minimal. Wildlife enthusiasts can look for Red Grouse and Grey Squirrels, with peak sightings occurring in January and February, respectively. March is a notable month for observing Dog's Mercury and Song Thrush, while October offers chances to see Barn Owls. The best times for spotting these species vary, with activity peaking around midday for some and early morning for others, making each visit a unique experience.
