RESIDENTS of Astune Rise, part of Popular Care, were all smiles as they enjoyed a nostalgic and sun-soaked day out at Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
In what has become a beloved annual tradition, 15 residents, along with friends and family, enjoyed a classic British day at the seaside.
With beach huts hired on the seafront, the group basked in the blistering summer sun, taking in the sights and sounds at this iconic gem on the North East coastline.
The day included hearty helpings of traditional fish and chips, much laughter, and a stroll along the Victorian pier, where many relived fond memories of childhood holidays.
A highlight of the visit was the famous Saltburn Tramway lift, one of the world’s oldest water-powered funicular railways, still in operation since its opening in 1884.
The lift remains a beloved symbol of Saltburn’s Victorian charm and rich coastal heritage and recently reopened after being closed for most of 2024.
Astune Rise manager Caroline Bowstead said: “Our residents look forward to this trip every year, it brings back such happy memories and really lifts everyone’s spirits. We’re so lucky to have such a beautiful coastline so close by.”
