Staithes - Yorkshire
The word 'Staithes' comes from the old Norse word 'stood' meaning landing place. The Vikings arriving around the year 800 would have made good use of it, being one of the few safe havens on the North Yorkshire coast. Staithes sprang into being around 1400 and is first mentioned in 1451.
Today it is still a very picturesque fishing village with lovely cobbled streets.
