To the artist and photographer Staithes and the surroundings, from the rugged cliffs Cleveland to the stormy moors and coast, are a rich store of brilliant images at every turn.

Staithes is the coastal jewel of the area - the beck, the harbour, the village, and the coast, have unusual colours and light conditions resulting from a unique microclimate. Any Staithes person will tell you this is "God's own climate" - with many kinds of different weather – sometimes all in the same day!
