Redcar finds its roots as a modest fishing hamlet in the 14th century, its growth marked by the expansion of trade with the adjacent village of Coatham. The town, located just 7 miles east of Middlesbrough, was chartered in 1922 and saw significant growth as a popular seaside resort in the 19th century. Today Redcar is part of the larger Teesside built-up area that possessed a population of 37,073 at the 2011 Census.

From the world's oldest surviving lifeboat, the Zetland, stationed at Redcar in 1802, to its fleeting Hollywood fame as a location in the film adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel 'Atonement' in 2006, and even its moment in the spotlight on Channel 4's 'The Secret Millionaire', you'll find Redcar offers more than meets the eye. Not to forget the Redcar Racecourse, one of nine thoroughbred horse racecourses in Yorkshire, ensuring there's never a shortage of entertainment.

When to visit Redcar

Packing your suitcase for Redcar? The town experiences pleasant weather during July, August and September, making these months an ideal time to soak up the seaside charm of this Yorkshire destination. But be warned, these are also the busiest months for tourism in Redcar, so be prepared for some enthusiastic crowds.

For those seeking a more peaceful visit, November and the winter months are the least crowded and also the most affordable time to visit. However, the UK climate is notorious for being unpredictable, so remember to check travel warnings and carry an umbrella, just in case. Regardless of the season, Redcar always extends a warm and friendly Yorkshire welcome to its visitors.
