Further Afield
Staithes was once one of the North East's busiest fishing villages and is also famous for its ties to Captain Cook. You'll find a labyrinth of red-roofed cottages and higgledy-piggledy streets that transport you back to a bygone era. From art galleries, trails and festivals, a scenic harbour, rock pool beach, cosy pubs, there's plenty to keep you occupied.
Whitby is about eight miles south and has been described as the 'prettiest seaside town in the UK' - it's easy to understand why. Its ruined Gothic Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for Dracula and overlooks a delightful harbour, surrounded by pretty houses. There are attractions to suit all ages, along with an excellent selection of shops and cafés in both the new and old towns. Keep an eye out for the regular themed events and festivals, from the bi-annual Goth Weekender to the wonderful folk week.
From Whitby, you can take the steam train and view the dramatic scenery of the North York Moors, as well as the quaint little villages of Grosmont, Goathland (known as Aidensfield in the TV series ‘Heartbeat’) and Levisham, reaching its final destination at Pickering.
