Immerse in the beauty of Staithes
Did you know? Staithes is a designated conservation village due to its unique character and charm - the narrow cobbled streets and tucked-away alleyways that are steeped in history; with tales of smuggling and the bohemian art community known as the Staithes Group. Inspired by the local scenery, the Staithes Group painted in and around the village in the late 19th century. Their legacy continues in the annual Staithes Arts Festival, held over an autumn weekend, when homes and shops are converted into art galleries and pop-up cafes welcoming visitors. The beauty of Staithes is indeed an eye-opener for most!
If you’re captivated by this historic charm, you’ll be delighted to know that there are some equally enchanting glamping spots near Whitby, just 23 minutes drive away from Staithes, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of the Yorkshire coast.
