Staithes has all the charm of a place lost in time, this small North Yorkshire fishing village gives the appearance of having grown out of the cliffs, the villages of Staithes and Cowbar are divided in two by Staithes beck, a small river that has carved a route from the moors to the sea.
Now a peaceful village this once bustling community of some 1000 inhabitants who earned their living from the sea. Amenities available provide the basics for visitors and tourists alike and include:
Public Houses
Public Car Park
 
Staithes was also home to many heroes. From Captain James Cook, to those with their names recorded in stone on the War Memorial and those who today at the sound of the maroon take the Staithes Lifeboat to sea as their ancestors have done for the last 100 years.
