Swallow Cottage

A little more information on Saltburn-by-the-Sea

Cobbled streets and backstreets of Staithes, a peaceful seaside village, are a dream come true for artists. All of the residences and cottages are located around the historic harbour and flanked on three sides by steep, rugged, and sandy cliffs with a sheltered sandy beach. Captain Cook was apprenticed to a draper in the town near the harbour. Visitors to the Yorkshire Coast must stop at Staithes these days, where they will find a wide range of restaurants, pubs, and stores. A lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) are still in operation in Staithes, and boat trips for birdwatching as well as fishing and whale-watching are available. Old Jack's Boat, a beloved BBC children's series, is set here. In Staithes, art and heritage festivals, galleries and artists studios, as well as regular art classes and workshops are all available. Local trail guides are available to help visitors navigate the ginnels (alleyways) in the area. It's best to see the town from the cliff's edge on the Cleveland Way, a path that descends to the water's edge. From here you can take day trips to the Yorkshire Coast, Whitby and Scarborough, and the North York Moors National Park's hill towns.
