Staithes.
At the turn of the 20th century, there were eighty full time fishing boats putting out from Staithes (or Steers as it is known by the locals); a hundred years later there is only one. Still a father and son fishing operation, three generations of the Hanson family currently work the lone full time fishing boat. There is a long tradition of using the coble (a traditional locally made fishing vessel) in Staithes.
Saltburn.
Its attractions include a recently renovated pier, plenty of Victorian buildings, a valley garden and a smugglers' museum, as well as one of the world's oldest water-powered cliff lifts—the oldest being the Bom Jesus funicular in Braga, Portugal. The Saltburn tramway, as it is known, replaced a vertical lift, which was closed on safety grounds in 1883. The railway opened a year later and provided transport between the pier and the town. The railway is water-balanced and since 1924 the water pump has been electrically operated. The first major maintenance was carried out in 1998, with the main winding wheel being replaced and a new braking system installed. Every year in August, there is a much-acclaimed folk festival in and around the town, which is attended by people from across the globe

Whitby.
Whitby is a historic town in North Yorkshire on the north-east coast of England. Nowadays it is a fishing port and tourist destination. It is situated 47 miles from York, at the mouth of the River Esk and spreads up the steep sides of the narrow valley carved out by the river's course. At this point the coast curves round, so the town faces more north than east.

Redcar is the principal town of the borough of Redcar and Cleveland, England. Historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire, in 1968 the town became part of the county borough of Teesside, which was absorbed by the non-metropolitan county of Cleveland in 1974.

North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire was formed on 1 April 1974 as a result of the Local Government Act 1972, and covers most of the lands of the historic North Riding, as well as the northern half of the West Riding, the northern and eastern fringes of the East Riding of Yorkshire and the former county borough of York.
York became a unitary authority independent of North Yorkshire on 1 April 1996,[7] and at the same time Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and areas of Stockton-on-Tees south of the river became part of North Yorkshire for ceremonial purposes, having been part of Cleveland from 1974 to 1996
