Staithes to Port Mulgrave
Cliff path from a fishing village to an abandoned ironstone harbour with the best fossils on the coast.
A reconstructed Staithes street of 1745 and the story of the young James Cook and the Staithes painters.

The Heritage Centre in the old Primitive Methodist chapel recreates the village as Cook knew it as a shop boy, with a full-size street of cottages, shops and the harbour front, and tells the story of the fishing fleet and of the Staithes Group of artists who painted here in the 1890s. A good wet-weather hour.
