Staithes : A quaint fishing village by the sea

[@orchid8271]

Hello there. I wouldn’t normally mention the words ‘medical issues’ in a comment but I wanted you to know the reach that your excellent, well balanced between entertainment, history and information videos are having. I cannot and will not be able to travel to the wonderful places that you visit and your videos are helping to fill a gap. I just wanted to say thank you for the enjoyment your video travels give me. Best wishes to you both.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It really is lovely to read your note. We are very pleased you are enjoying our travel and they provide enjoyment for you. It makes it all worthwhile to know this. Thank you! 😊

[@bubbles9347]

I am in a similar situation being unable to visit these beautiful places and these videos help me enormously, Thank you…

[@arriesone1]

I can’t think of anywhere else in the world that has such picturesque historic villages as does Britain. Truly precious and must be preserved at all costs.

[@johndean958]

Thankyou so much. I called my small house here in Australia , Staithes, after this quaint village. Thanks again. John (Australia)

Love Staithes. It's one of the important stops for the palaeontologist looking at the geology and fossils of the region, alongside Runswick Bay, Kettleness and Whitby. Beware the tides, though.

[@tresfeles2784]

Would you consider doing videos following the Albert Smith Culinary Capers books by Steve Higgs? Take us to sample where each famous British dish originated, like pork pies, Bakewell tarts, Stilton cheese, Bedfordshire clangers, Cumberland sausage, etc.? I realize you've already been to many of these places, but it would be fun to see the local foods and the shops where they are made. 😊

[@MemorySeekers]

Certainly noting it down as an idea. Not one I had thought of or how we might film that but thank you for the suggestion. It great to get ideas from others.

[@TXMEDRGR]

You have such a talent for finding these beautiful and historic English villages. I really appreciate your wonderful videos, thank you.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you we do try to find the most interesting places if we can.. I hope we don't run out! 😊

[@jaimeivars]

Hello Simon and Will. Congratulations on your wonderful videos. The places that you have been and filmed are very beautiful. I am from Spain and I have to say that I am very much in love with your country United Kingdom... I have been living in Canterbury for 6 years and I loved it. I would love to go back but Brexit forced me to return to Spain... I hope to return to live there again soon. Do not stop making these magnificent videos xx

Beautiful film of a beautiful place on the water. I wonder how it is there with storm and tide.

I would love to be sitting in the pub window, as the sea water bashes the wall, with a pint and nice log fire to wait it out.

[@johngledhill2970]

I am currently living in the Far East so really enjoyed your trip to Staithes, my family on my grandmother's side come from 'Steers', Verrill and England. My Uncle Tom had the white cottage just before the Cod and Lobster and we always referred to it as Uncle Tom's Cabin, it had a lovely view of the sea from the back window which had been knocked in by the sea many times during bad storms. Thanks for the memory.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you so much for sharing your connection to Staithes. So glad we could bring back the memories. all the best.

[@maladasgupta2247]

Very nice ...❤️

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you!

[@SmallWonda]

Very enjoyable visit - thank you. Nice to see there is a vibrant museum in Staithes now, looks very interesting. When you said Look out! I thougt it was for sea gulls, I think they must make life & house keeping a bit difficult - worse than Brixham! My chickens are bad enough - imagine if they were on my roof!?! England is such a great country - there are so many history-steeped places to visit - my husband misses it so much, especially these old places & a proper beer in a proper pub - so thanks for keeping us in touch with our heritage & favourite places. Actually - have you ever been down to Noss Mayo in the South Hams? Bit tiny & tucked away... Have a fun week!

[@MemorySeekers]

The seagulls can be a real pest these days. You see many more signs up warning of attacks, they seem to have become far more brave. We have not been down to Noss Mayo but I have pinned it on our travel map now as it looks very sweet. Thanks!

[@SmallWonda]

@@MemorySeekers And it's cousin up the creek (I can never remember it's name) Newton Ferrers - wonder if you could get someone to take you up in a boat? As the roads are typical of the South Hams, narrow & winding. Used to like those 2-villages, I think Noss has The Dolphin pub just above the water. Hope Cove is another cute place, only small, but you need 20p (when I was there in '19) for the loo! Don't know if you've ever done Dartmouth - my sister stayed in a lovely place near the castle back in the spring - & the drive from Dartmouth, past Blackpool, to Torcross along Slapton sands - where they did the practising for the D Day landings is very historic & quite dramatic on a beautiful spring morning - you can follow the lanes tru' to Kingsbridge, Aveton Gifford along the tidal road & on to Noss & Newton - be quite a long day! Yes, we didn't used to be fans of Herring Gulls, people used to call them aerial rats - but it's our own faults, I guess! Happy travels, guys - you do have a great job!

Another great video visit to 1 more missed gem from the Old Dart! The subtle blending of mood music at a non-intrusive level, background sounds and clear and pleasant narration shows just how professional these KZbin channels can be these days. Long may this 1 prosper!

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you so much! Thank you for supporting us by watching. ☺

[@pheart2381]

I live just up the road,about 7 miles away. Watch your children on Runswick Bay,lovely beach but the sand shelves away to quite deep water at low tide rather than a gradual slope downwards.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

And no Bondi Lifesavers there to drag all the dumb tourists out again before they go down for the third time! It pays the local industry here to ensure those services prosper since you can't have the punters drowning before you've had a chance to shake all the loot out of them! 😉😊

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for the important advice. I do believe the have a life guard at certain times, but remember they were not on duty when we visited.

Yours is a wonderful channel for taking North Americans to fine British locations. Based on your reportage, I would say this area is not so much 'quaint' as 'timeless' and ever wonderful.

[@tabitha4135]

Beautiful town ❤

[@RelaxedRoamer]

What a lovely video showcasing the quaint fishing villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay in North Yorkshire! The rich fishing history, tales of Captain James Cook, and the mention of smuggling add a fascinating layer to the charm of these places. The famous art scene with Laura Knight and the Staithes Art group is a testament to the creative atmosphere that permeates the villages. The fact that you can even walk between Staithes and Runswick Bay on the Cleveland Way National Walking Trail is a wonderful opportunity for adventure and exploration. Thank you for sharing this delightful experience of these picturesque villages.

[@brandieo6165]

Another enchanting village! I'd never be bored if I lived in England. So many beautiful places to explore. Thanks for the journey!😊

[@rodpettet2819]

I had fish and chips in the Magpie and thought them a world beater. What makes one great place better than another is highly subjective and probably varies from day to day. I visited Whitby from Australia a few years ago. Good F&C in Oz. Sadly I now live in the Philippines and cannot get good fish and chips. 😢 I would love to get back to the Whitby area but sadly age and poor health probably prevent it.

[@veronicaroach3667]

That's why youtube is such a pleasure these days.! I'm 83 now & not going many places these days, but the videos are a great way to see so much beauty you can't get to yourself. I basically 'travel the world' every day. I'm a Brit but i have never been to this area of the UK and I can see what I have missed because my focus tended to be North Wales for holidays. Now in the US for many years, but I return via videos to enjoy new things in UK ! Have fun in your 'travels' as I do !

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Absolutely fabulous gents. I am so enjoying your videos. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care

[@brianbell4937]

It's a pity that an enterprising local could not offer shared taxis / taxi bus services from these villages (and Robin Hoods Bay) up to the bus stops in the summer.

[@MrBez007]

I think only 4 people live at runswick year round and are elderly. The walk to the bus stop is not bad at all really, certainly wouldn't justify a taxi an only about 100 meters from the carpark.

Ahh the sound of waves coming up the beach, can't beat it. I wonder if the same family lines still live there in Staithes? Another village I could happily live in. Out of the hustle and bustle. Take care =-) as always.

[@MemorySeekers]

I would imagine that there are some but lots of places have become second homes and holiday lets, so the old fishing families have either moved away or passed on with the newer generations preferring to be elsewhere.

[@jillwanlin9558]

Hi Simon and Will. I’m in love with Straithes. What a truly unique village. Loved the black and white photos in the museum. You can definitely recognize the town. I was trying to listen to the people talking in there, as I was born in Middlesbrough and I ❤the dialect. Thanks so much! Another thumbs up 👍!

[@Chrisamusic1]

Hi, I'd like to thank you so much for this wonderful video. For deep personal reasons I like to occasionally 'visit' Staithes via KZbin videos, but the vast majority are ruined by featuring background music that is either too loud, or just plain pointless (60s hits!?!). By keeping your background music to a minimum - and very tasteful when used, you have let the natural ambience of the bays come through, which is surely the whole point of these videos. In a nutshell, watching this made me feel I was back there and in my current delicate and emotional state I really needed that. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you so much for lovely comment. We are so pleased that this video has personally touched you. It is great fun to make the videos of the places we visit but equally very satisfying to know they can also provide a lift to someone when needed. Take care Simon & Will

[@SpanishEclectic]

You always find the most interesting little tidbits about each place. The Staithes cottages have a different look from those in other villages you've featured. How great to learn they were painted to match the owner's fishing boats! The 'terra cotta' colored tile roofs make sense near the sea, yet they differ from ours here in S. California. (Ours are wider, and laid with the curve at the top.) The fishing industry has changed worldwide; San Diego once hosted a substantial tuna fleet, with boats going out for months, as far as Ecuador. The boats and the canneries were phased out in the 1970s. I had no idea about alum, but we see all aspects of the textile industry in these towns. A number of my Nottingham ancestors worked in lace production. Thanks for another great trip! :)

[@MemorySeekers]

You know I was not that up on Alum either until researching. It is a little gem for sure, so many lovely tales just like it's neighbour Robin Hood's Bay.

[@sharynkhan1104]

Love north Yorkshire coast line such quaint cottages. I'm probably going to annoy people, but I am glad the fishing industry is on its way out. Over fishing has depleted the fish along with being a cruel industry don't like the thought of lobsters being boiled alive either.
