Redcar and Cleveland

Redcar and Cleveland extends along the North Sea coast with cliffs reaching 600 feet at Boulby and includes the northernmost section of Cleveland Hills.

The area transformed from Langbaurgh borough in 1974 to its current status as a unitary authority in 1996, marking significant administrative changes in North Yorkshire.

The district maintains several nature reserves, including Guisborough Branch Walkway and Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park, which connect residents with local natural heritage.

The region contains 24 electoral wards represented by 59 councillors who manage public services, from housing benefits to environmental initiatives across the territory.

The territory holds both industrial complexes at Wilton Chemical Industry Park and sections of the North York Moors National Park within its boundaries.
