Directions to Bellebeck

• On reaching Staithes from the north on the A171 turn left onto Staithes Lane (signposted Staithes) off the main Whitby road.
• After a few hundred yards reach the Captain Cook Inn.
• Turn right here for the public car park (if you are not familiar with Staithes or Bellebeck you might want to park here and walk down to the cottage).
• To reach the cottage carry on straight ahead at the Captain Cook Inn, passing relatively modern houses to reach the very steep descent of the Bank.
• At the bottom of the steep section pass a white house on the left and then a terrace of 6 houses also on the left.
• After the sixth house (and opposite the Captain Cook and Staithes Heritage Centre and the Pink Fusion shop) turn very sharp left down a steep and narrow lane.
• Fifty yards down the lane turn left uphill on a very narrow lane to pull up outside Bellebeck which is part of the large converted stone chapel.
  (You may find it better to reverse up this last small lane).
• This is a no-through road and you can park there whilst unloading.
• Your car will then need to be taken back up the Bank to the public car park
