Tucked away in the northeast of England, you'll find one of the country's most enchanting villages. Situated high above the North Yorkshire Moors, the seaside treasure of Staithes was formerly a thriving fishing harbour in the North East.

Rich in heritage, Staithes also boasts one of the area's most exceptional Sunday roasts, dished up at The Captain Cook Inn. The Captain Cook Inn enjoys an enviable location, positioned amongst the clifftops with sweeping vistas across the picturesque cobbled lanes and peaceful shoreline beneath. Customers have flocked to Tripadvisor to lavish praise upon the establishment's roast meals.

One delighted customer declared: "Had a fabulous Sunday Roast, plenty of it and the beef was so tender and very moreish!".

Sharing this view, another guest observed: "The meal was absolutely delicious. The meat was so tender and the vegetables were al dente. Just how we like them. Big fluffy Yorkshire and rich gravy. Could have eaten a whole plate of their roast potatoes."

Apart from the celebrated roast, the establishment serves traditional favourites including steak pie, scampi and chips, and crispy whitebait for starters.

Ale lovers can enjoy a range of brews, including the signature tipple, Northern Navigator, produced specially for the inn by North Yorkshire Brewery, just 15 miles distant.

Little wonder that The Captain Cook Inn received Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Award. Exploring the village's remarkable history, guests will discover stories of its most famous historical resident - Captain James Cook.

Begin a fascinating historical exploration at the Staithes Heritage Centre and Captain Cook Museum, which presents a charming reconstruction of the establishment where the celebrated explorer once served as a grocer's apprentice.

This delightful centre overflows with artefacts including volumes, correspondence, and decorations, whisking guests back to Captain Cook's era.

Staithes, recognised also for its abundant artistic legacy, was formerly home to a distinguished collective of painters known as the "Staithes group" or the "Northern Impressionists".

Today, the village's crown jewel, the Staithes Gallery, showcases a remarkable selection of modern creations, featuring paintings, photographs, and sculptures, all inspired by the charming settlement and its stunning landscape.

For those passionate about ancient finds, Staithes sits upon the renowned Dinosaur Coast, which offers abundant chances for exploring bygone eras.

The protected Staithes Beach nestles within the village's harbour; as the waters retreat, it unveils a captivating realm of rock pools brimming with fossils and tiny marine life to enchant any adventurous fossil seeker.

Embark on further adventures along the Cleveland Way National Trail, a 109-mile stretch that boasts stunning views of everything from moody moorlands to historic coastal castles and quaint fishing villages, stretching from Filey to Helmsley.

After your explorations, relax at the quayside at the renowned Cod and Lobster pub, celebrated for its extensive seafood menu including its signature dish: a delicious pan-fried Cod Fillet served with a rich Lobster Bisque, homemade Potato Rosti and spinach, topped off with a juicy Lobster tail or Claw.

The Cod and Lobster also offers mouth-watering hot and cold sandwiches alongside traditional pub favourites, not to be missed.

Finally, end your day with a trip to Dotty's Vintage Tearoom, where you can enjoy a touch of nostalgia with their delightful homemade cheese or fruit scones, hearty toasties, and a comforting cuppa.

Staithes, while known as one of the most picturesque villages, also offers a rich history, exciting adventures, and first-rate cuisine.
