Staintondale railway station

Staintondale railway station was 8 miles (13 km) north of Scarborough and served the hamlet of Staintondale in North Yorkshire, England. It opened on 16 July 1885 when the Scarborough & Whitby Railway opened the full line. In 1937 the station was renamed as Stainton Dale (written as two separate words). The station had two platforms either side of a passing loop and a small goods yard to the west. It was listed in 1904 as being able to handle general goods, livestock, horse boxes and prize cattle vans. There was no permanent crane, although one is shown on the 1893 Ordnance survey map. A camping coach was positioned here by the North Eastern Region from 1954 to 1958 and two coaches were here from 1959 to 1964. On 4 May 1964 the goods service was withdrawn from the station, which closed completely on 8 March 1965. During the station's final year of operation its average weekly taking was £15 but the wages bill for the station came to £180. The platforms and the main station buildings (used for residential purposes) are still in place. The railway alignment through the station is used by the Cinder Track, a multi-use path between Scarborough and Whitby.

Beast Cliff

Beast Cliff is a steep sea cliff situated about halfway between Whitby and Scarborough on the coast of North Yorkshire in northeastern England. Beast Cliff is at the southern end of a coastal region designated as a Special Area of Conservation and Site of Special Scientific Interest. Bordering the eastern edge of the North York Moors national park, the Cleveland Way runs at the head of the cliffs. In terms of its position on the Ordnance Survey National Grid system of geographical mapping, Beast Cliff is mostly in the one-kilometre grid square TA0099 but at its northern end it extends into OV. That point is the only area of land in the entire 100-kilometre national grid square of OV, adjoining NZ, SE and TA.
