Staithes and Surrounding Area
The village of Staithes is situated within the North York Moors National Park and nestles in to the cliffs either side of Roxby Beck and is protected from the North Sea by the cliffs of Cowbar Nab. The heart of Staithes is the tiny harbour with the traditional coble fishing boats bobbing against the tide and the RNLI Staithes and Runswick Lifeboat station. There has been an RNLI Lifeboat Station in Staithes for the last 140 years and the current lifeboat “Pride of Leicester” is regularly involved in rescues in both the surrounding area and beyond.
Historically Staithes (pronounced “Steers” by the locals) was an important fishing and smuggling community and in its heyday was once the largest fishing village on the north east coast. The rich history has created a unique environment in old Staithes village with fantastic sea captains’ houses interspersed amongst traditional fishermen’s cottages all set on cobbled streets and higgledy-piggledy alleyways snaking up the cliff side. Images of this bygone era were captured beautifully in the photography and sepia prints of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Staithes was also the home of Captain James Cook during his apprenticeship and the house in which he was based “Captain Cook’s Cottage” can still be found on the sea front at the bottom of Church Street. You can find out more about life in Staithes and the voyages of Captain James Cook in the Staithes Heritage Centre and Captain Cook Museum. Visit our website for more information and prices.
