A small sheltered inlet on the River Tees near where it finally meets the North Sea.
The ignominiously-named 'Paddy's Hole' provides a safe mooring for numerous small boats on the South Gare, near Redcar on the North Yorkshire coast.
The access road to this almost 'other-worldly' location used to skirt around the blast furnaces of Teesside's steel industry where, if you timed it right, you could feel the heat of molten slag being poured.
The South Gare is a popular spot for bird-watchers and those just wanting to visit a place that has a bit of a unique atmosphere.

I have just got back from walking along part of the Cleveland Hills above Guisborough in North Yorkshire. It was a sunny but frosty morning after several days of rain. The air was very clear. The Cleveland Hills and Pennines were capped with snow. Beyond Teesmouth, on the northern horizon were two white shapes that I had not seen before. The leftmost was long and flat, the rightmost narrow and pointed. I am fairly sure these were the snow-capped Cheviot and Hedgehope Hill, 80 miles away and almost on the Scottish border. When I was at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the '80s my tutor said that he could see the Cheviot from his office in the Claremont Tower. See the image in this old article in the Guardian for what they look like: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/26/country-diary-cheviots-clear-view-1968. Today the snowline on them was at a lower level than in that image.

Dredging Up Trouble on the Tees

The tanker Stolt Auk slips past a derelict wooden jetty at South Gare, heading for Rotterdam. The jetty is older than the Gare itself, built before 1888, and once served the North Riding (Fortress) Royal Engineers as part of the river’s coastal defences. It now stands abandoned, a relic of an industrial past that never quite goes away.
