Staithes is a seaside village in the Scarborough Borough of North Yorkshire, England. Easington and Roxby Becks, two brooks that run into Staithes Beck, form the border between the Borough of Scarborough and Redcar and Cleveland. Formerly one of the many fishing centres in England, Staithes is now largely a tourist destination within the North York Moors National Park.
The name Staithes derives from Old English and means 'Landing-Place'. It has been suggested that it is so named after being the port for the nearby Seaton Hall and Hinderwell. At the turn of the 20th century, there were 80 full-time fishing boats putting out from Staithes. A hundred years later there are still a few part-time fisher men. There is a long tradition of using the coble (a traditional fishing vessel) in Staithes.
It was reported in 1997 that the Royal Mail were encouraging the occupants of Staithes to number their houses instead of relying on names. Whilst the regular postperson had no difficulty with the narrow streets and cottages, the relief postal staff were getting confused. Royal Mail also claimed it would aid efficiency by their postal machines which automatically read the addresses.
Staithes has a sheltered harbour, bounded by high cliffs and two long breakwaters. A mile to the west is Boulby Cliff where, for a brief period, alum, a mineral used to improve the strength and permanency of colour when dying cloth, was mined. The mining operation ended when a cheaper chemical method was developed. The ruined remnants of the mines can be seen from the cliff top when walking the Cleveland Way between Staithes and Skinningrove.
Staithes is a destination for geologists researching the Jurassic (Lias), strata in the cliffs surrounding the village. In the early 1990s, a rare fossil of a seagoing dinosaur was discovered after a rockfall between Staithes and Port Mulgrave to the south. This fossil has been the focus of an ongoing project to remove the ancient bones of the creature. Port Mulgrave remains one of the best places on the northern coast to find fossils of ammonites and many visitors spend hours cracking open the shaly rocks on the shoreline in the hope of finding a perfect specimen.
The permanent population of the village has dwindled due to more than half of the houses being second homes owned by outsiders from cities such as Leeds and York and further afield. Even though fewer than half of the houses in the village are occupied by local people, the traditions of the village have not yet died; many of the local women still buy Staithes bonnets from the sole bonnet maker, and the Staithes Fisher Men's Choir is still going strong. There is active local participation in the local RNLI Lifeboat crew. Locally, the name was traditionally pronounced Steers.
Between 1883 and 1958, the village was served by Staithes railway station which was on the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. The southern end of the village is bisected by the A174 road between Thornaby-on-Tees and Whitby.

Places to see in ( Harpenden - UK )
Harpenden is a town in the St Albans City district in the county of Hertfordshire, England. Harpenden is a commuter town, with a direct rail connection through Central London and property prices well over double the national average.
Geographically Harpenden is located between (and a short distance from) two much larger neighbours: Luton town (to the north) and the city of St Albans (to the south). Harpenden is flanked by the villages of Redbourn (to the west) and Wheathampstead (to the east).
A widespread but now little-known industry of Harpenden was straw-weaving, a trade mainly carried out by women in the nineteenth century. A good straw weaver could make as much as a field labourer. The straw plaits were taken to the specialist markets in St Albans or Luton and bought by dealers to be converted into straw items such as boaters and other hats or bonnets.
The arrival of the railway system from 1860 and the sale of farms for residential development after 1880 radically changed Harpenden's surroundings. First the Dunstable Branch of the Great Northern Railway passed through the Batford area with a station later named Harpenden East railway station (this line is now closed and forms a cycle track).
There are two civil parishes: Harpenden and Harpenden Rural. As Harpenden is located in Hertfordshire just outside London, Harpenden is an area of extremely high property costs. This is common in the region. Harpenden has a large number of its streets named after English literary figures on the East side of the town (an area known, unsurprisingly, as the Poets' Corner), including Byron Road, Cowper Road, Kipling Way, Milton Road, Shakespeare Road, Spenser Road, Shelley Court, Tennyson Road, Townsend Road, Masefield Road and Wordsworth Road.
Harpenden railway station is served by Thameslink on a frequent and fast rail link through central London. Suburban services stop at all stations on the route, while express services stop at St Albans City before continuing non-stop to London St Pancras International, (Harpenden to St Pancras International – 25 minutes). Trains run north to Luton, Luton Airport Parkway and on to Bedford.
The A6 used to run through Harpenden, although the road numbering was changed to avoid congestion. The M1 runs nearby. The closest access to the M1 is Junction 9 at Redbourn & Dunstable or alternatively Junction 10 for Luton & Airport. A number of bus services pass through Harpenden. There are 4 main frequent and reliable routes.
A notable feature of Harpenden is its abundant parks and commons. The central area of Harpenden, known locally as the village is characterised by Church Green, Leyton Green and the High Street Greens, which give the town its provincial feel.
Just to the south of the town centre is Harpenden Common, stretching from the shops in the town centre for more than a mile to the south, encompassing a total of 238 acres (96 ha). Today Harpenden Common hosts two cricket clubs, Harpenden Cricket Club, a Hertfordshire Premier League club that celebrated its 150 anniversary in 2013 and Bamville Cricket Club who play on Sundays on the golf course, a football club, bridle ways for horse riding, ramblers' paths and Harpenden Common Golf Club

Bishop Auckland to Saltburn | Ride out, walk back
The Tees Valley Line is a true relic of the original Stockton and Darlington Railway. It not only follows some of the route of the original 1825 railway, but also marks the rapid expansion of the railway into Teesside. At Saltburn we see a planned seaside town, created by the railway and built with, among other things, railway money.
Oh, and then at Saltburn, Izzy, our four-legged friend gets a chance to run on the sands all the way back to Redcar over the wide expanse of beach that stretches along the coast.
Expect a train ride, industrial history, seaside towns and a dog running at full pelt over the sand! Oh, and there will also be ice cream and chips, if you're good.

Barwick Lane, Ingleby Wood, Thornaby Wood
For more information about this walk, go to
A beautiful woodland walk around Thornaby wood, which takes in the cycle and footpaths of Ingleby Barwick. The route starts and finishes near a play park, so a good walk for families and dog walkers. The route isn't pushchair or wheelchair friendly as there are steps and gateways to pass through along the way. Suitable footwear is advisable due to the nature of the route. This walk is great for a little adventure and lots of nature spotting along the way.

Our stations from our three day visit when we ventured back up to Newcastle to just to cover the last remaining stations on the Tyne Valley Line, along with some more least used stations including Tee Side Airport and British Steel Redcar, this all took some fair planning but we pulled it off! We finish our week in Yorkshire with some more least used stations, enjoy!
