Marske has two imposing houses.

  • Marske Hall,* now a Cheshire Home, was built around 1625 and was formerly the home of the Zetland family.
  • Cliff House,* which stands on the cliff tops overlooking the beach, was built in the 19th century as a holiday residence for the Pease family, who were prominent in the north-east business community, at the time, and principal shareholders in the Stockton and Darlington Railway. The railway was extended to Redcar in the 1840s and to Marske and Saltburn in the 1860s.

The village has its own post office, medical centres, leisure centre and a library and Baptist church. The village has Methodist, Roman Catholic and Church of England churches and five public houses: The Frigate, The Ship Inn,* The Zetland, The Mermaid and The Clarendon.

Famous quotes containing the word landmarks:

    “Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
    —Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
