The charming seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets, is considered something of an artistâs 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 âIllusion Trailâ 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 Hoodâs Bay and Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
Whitby is just 10 miles away and is one of Yorkshireâs most picturesque coastal fishing towns, with a bustling harbour, narrow cobbled streets, old fishermenâs 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 œ mile. Shop 350 yards, pub and restaurant 700 yards.

The lodge is above a stream. we enjoyed watching red squirrels running around the fences.The lodge was clean the beds were comfortable. The shower is a walk in. All pots pans cutlery you will ever need. An Oven with grill and hob, a microwave and a good toaster, fridge and kettle. Very good wifi . A smart TV, with free sat, we booked on to our own Netflix and Prime video but there was also a DVD player and some DVDs. The driveway to the lodge is not for the faint hearted it is steep but safely passable. An ideal base for coast and moors. Very friendly and helpful staff.
