The Neighborhood:
Staithes is the quaint coastal village which was recently named one of Britain’s most beautiful seaside villages. It is a fascinating village with a lot of history, and many say it is like stepping back in time.
It has a beautiful harbour with beach set below the towering cliffs, winding streets, a maze of ginnels and alleyways, and mismatched colourful cottages bursting with charm.
The village is also known for its abundance of fossils which can be found along the small beach and in the cluster of rockpools. This area is nicknamed the ‘Dinosaur Coast’ as it’s packed with history.
Staithes is a magnet for art and artists alike. Throughout the village you’ll find the amazing Painted Illusions Trail created by the famous artist Paul Czainski. It was also the home to the impressionist art society, known as Staithes Group, and their work can always be seen dotted around. Visit the two village art galleries and the free Captain Cook Museum.
