The charming seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets, is considered something of an artist’s dream, and even has its own popular Art and Heritage Festival along with regular workshops and artisan displays. The pretty houses dotted around the old harbour are surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, and a sheltered sandy beach is set amongst the rocky coastline. Steeped in history, Captain Cook served his apprenticeship in Staithes, and there are many old buildings to admire and a museum to take you back in time.

Modern day Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to a rnli lifeboat station, and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) land their catch of fish, crab and lobster. There are also boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and whale watching available, and an ’Illusion Trail’ guides visitors around the network of backstreets and alleyways. The Cleveland Way stretches its way along this dramatic coastline and is a firm favourite with walkers as it drops into many hidden bays and coves such as Robin Hood’s Bay and Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

Whitby is just 10 miles away and is one of Yorkshire’s most picturesque coastal fishing towns, with a bustling harbour, narrow cobbled streets, old fishermen’s cottages and historic abbey. The town hosts regular events and festivals including the Gothic Weekend, a regatta and regular live music events to complement its many fabulous restaurants, bars and cosy tea rooms.

Head inland to enjoy a myriad of walking and cycling routes that the National Park has to offer, enjoy a warm welcome in one of the many village inns, or take a steam train journey into the heart of the park. Surf enthusiasts will enjoy Saltburn-by-the-Sea with its numerous surf schools and there are plenty of courses for the golfers. Beach ½ mile. Shop 350 yards, pub and restaurant 700 yards.

    This is a beautiful hidden Jem with the babbling River at your rear surrounded by a old forest the bird song is all around you its so peaceful and relaxing along with it being a sun trap the cabin we stayed in was in excellent condition lovely outdoor seating area but be aware the hill down to the site is steep it's easier than it looks walking back up but if you are not to good on your legs best to drive out really enjoyed a peaceful stay surrounded by nature .
