The Scar is situated in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, near the picturesque village of Robin Hood's Bay.

Rising to a height of around 100 meters, Jenny Leigh's Scar offers breathtaking panoramic views of the North Sea and the surrounding countryside. Its rugged and dramatic appearance makes it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers. The Scar's imposing presence is further enhanced by the presence of several caves and crevices that have been eroded by the relentless forces of nature over thousands of years.

The area around Jenny Leigh's Scar is teeming with diverse wildlife, including various species of seabirds, which nest in the cliff faces. The surrounding moorland is home to an array of flora and fauna, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers to explore and observe.

Access to Jenny Leigh's Scar is possible via a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to experience its awe-inspiring beauty up close. The Scar also forms part of the Cleveland Way, a long-distance footpath that stretches for 109 miles along the North York Moors National Park.

Fisherman's Square, Redcar Quite a surprise to find this a block away from the coast. The tractor on the right is a veteran, judging by its registration plate.

Coatham promenade Approaching the Regent Cinema. Once past that you are in Redcar proper. Coatham was in Kirkleatham parish, but became a separate civil parish in 1899, when it was added to Redcar Urban District. It became fully merged with Redcar in 1921.

Blue plaque on the Regent Cinema Coatham was in Kirkleatham parish, and evidently tried to be a separate resort from Redcar. The demise of the pier in 1898 was closely followed by the incorporation of Coatham into Redcar Urban District in 1899.
