Staithes

Highlight • Settlement

Staithes is a picturesque, small coastal town, located in a bay surrounded by cliffs. The houses of the village are built on a slope, and the narrow streets wind up the steep coast. Picturesque the river meanders Staithes Beck meanders through the village until it flows into the bay in the North Sea. In short: Staithes is a town like in a picture book and definitely worth a visit.

Staithes Fishing Village

Highlight • Historical Site

As you wander through the winding streets of Staithes and down to the traditional bay, it really feels as though time has stood still for hundreds of years. Much more peaceful than its larger neighbours to the south, Whitby and Scarborough, it’s a picture-postcard fishing village that’s sure to capture your imagination. With spectacular cliff-top paths, a small yet glorious golden beach and rock pools, it’s a serene spot that’s well worth a visit.

Runswick Bay Beach

Highlight • Beach

Runswick Bay is one of the prettiest coastal destinations in Yorkshire and a must-see if you enjoy traditional British seaside. With a sweeping, sheltered bay, sandy beach, clean waters, rock pools and fossils to be found, it's a great place to relax, swim and play. There are fantastic cliff-top walks in this area, too.
