Brilliant I am now a old man but I remember when I was there in 1970 , what a great holiday there was no car's in the village and only one cafe and that was up church st and that' was when I was 15 at the time I am now 70 but I have always processed to Go back one Day, thank you for the memories 😢
Wow this is another really magnificent small village town here in Staithes as always I really like the houses, the streets and the nice places to eat and shop at, the gulls really are out there on your walk and this a very beautiful place here in Staithes Thanks and i can't wait to see where you are going to be next take care and have a nice Easter Sunday Thank You. 🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧
Staithes looks gorgeous but I did know that it has somewhat been taken over by second homers who seldom go there. Great to see it out of season. I bet it's packed in summer 🌞. Hi 🙋 Rebecca 🙂. Wonderful video Neil 👍
Thanks Neil for showing staithes this is my favourite place on the Yorkshire coast and would recommend the cod and lobster the food is delicious can’t wait to get back there again this year
I still love Staithes. My friend and I holidayed in the mid 60s, when we were teenagers. We have some fond memories of our time here. I've painted it in watercolour a couple of times too.
It was once a smugglers haven, contraband was brought in from the Netherlands and distributed in Whitby and its environs. Unfortunately as you say, it has been taken over by second homes,holiday cottages and ABBs, one just has to listen to the accents at a weekend, nearly all “hoorah Henry’s “ and “oh reallys”. Not to bad on weekdays you can still get a delicious fresh crab sandwich and a pint of hand pulled Yorkshire bitter at the Cod and Lobster. Enjoy your travels.
It's easy to see why they built a village right here. It is well protected from all sides from the elements: wind, high sea etc. A nice protected harbour, and the narrow streets, small shops and places to eat (important to me ) just ads to the charm of Staithes. It too would be on my "visit frequently list" It's just perfect for a cave-dwelling troglodyte like me. If you can't catch the noisy seagull, then their eggs should be quite tasty.
Staithes is beautiful. A few comments on the video: 1. The blue coloured stones down the sides of the road are engineering bricks. 2. How do they get cars down to the harbour? From experience, we know that Volvos are not the smallest cars to drive and can be difficult to get down narrow streets 😂 3. I've just watched the trailer for Phantom Thread. Not for me, thanks. Too arty and serious 😂 4. Thank you for showing the Lifeboat station ❤
I couldn’t find the current population. I wonder how the economy sustains itself there. How do most people make a living? You said lots of vacation homes so I wondered about how the population fluctuates in the off season. It looks like a beautiful peaceful place.
How much were the beer battered fish and chips? Re the road sets or bricks, i think they were made from the waste from the process of iron smelting but don’t quote me on that. They used them as ships ballast as well apparently. We knocked an old farm stable down near Great Ayton about fifty years ago and there were hundreds of these blocks or “sets”. They were as hard as bell metal. Used instead of concrete. Darlington back streets have a few as well up near the old mart. Just want to add these sets were heavy, heavy as lead nearly.

Yes its very very quiet out of holiday season. A shame really
Happening in so many beautiful little seaside villages now
Very pretty village,i imagine that the air is quite bracing.Are there any food shops at all?
theres an icecream shop and a place where u can get food but no supermarkets

Hey there
Think the fish and chips were £16
Very tasty tho!
Some seriously steep roads. Lucky most of your walking was downhill. 👍🚷
Yeh it was on the way down there 🤣
The sea water looks filthy
just another vastly overpriced town, flooded by speculators. yawns....
Focus on price boards more. Ex patriates like to keep in touch with cost of living there.
