Welcome to the peaceful hamlet of Dalehouse, which lies on the outskirts of Staithes down a quiet country lane. It offers walks through beautiful countryside showing a different beauty with each season.

Roxby beck flows through the hamlet on its way to the sea and fish can be seen swimming in its bubbling waters. However if you wish to fish here you do require a licence. For the more energetic amongst you, you can follow the road up hill to Roxby and on round to Borrowby and back into Dalehouse.

If you just wish to relax then a slow walk to beck meetings where a ford crosses the road will suit. Along the way there is a seat over looking the beck for those who wish for a more leisurely walk and to take time for quiet reflection. It always seems to be much warmer down here than in the rest of the village.

As you walk down the bank into Dalehouse, you will see a road that runs along side of the pub. This takes you to a stone bridge crossing the beck, if you follow this road it brings you out in the culvert on the Loftus side of Staithes. If you carry on past the pub to the road junction you will see a row of cottages on your left. Two of these cottages were once the cottage hospital for Grinkle Pit, which was part of the Ironstone mine.
