Staithes is a charming picturesque fishing village, which has remained unspoilt by time. Its cobbled streets, narrow alleyways, pantile roofed houses and fishing cobles moored in the beck, attract artists from far and wide. The Staithes Group of artists were at the forefront of British Impressionist painting at the turn of the last century and their work can be seen in major public collections.
