Staithes is one of Yorkshire’s best kept secrets, a charming coastal hamlet that overlooks the North Sea. It’s just one hour and forty minutes from Leeds by car and promises stunning views of the coast as well as a picturesque village worth exploring. A throwback of days gone by, it boasts narrow streets, ginnels and tall houses built into a sheltered cove at the base of a cliff. But it’s not just character, Staithes has loads of history too, because it was once one of the biggest fishing ports on the North Sea.
