Cornelian Bay, North Yorkshire

Knipe Point (or Osgodby Point) is a rocky headland on the North Sea coast, between Cornelian Bay and Cayton Bay in North Yorkshire, England. From this point, and running south, is the steeply sloping clay-till cliff on top of which stood the NALGO holiday camp between 1933 and 1974; this is where Knipe Point Drive was later built. The Cayton Cliff is subject to continuing surface landslips, potentially major at times, such as the one of 2008, known as the Knipe Point Landslide, which received national media attention due to the loss of three homes.

Osgodby is a village and civil parish in the district and county of North Yorkshire, England. Until 2023, it was in the borough of Scarborough. Approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Scarborough off the coastal road, Osgodby was a medieval village with a manor house mentioned in the Domesday Book as Asgozbi ('Asgaut's farm or estate'). It appears to have grown until the 13th or 14th century and then declined to a sparsely populated farming area by the 19th century. Housing was developed east of the medieval site in the 1930s and again from the 1960s, with buildings of farms on the site of the manor house being converted into a pub and a restaurant. The oldest surviving building is Stuart House, dated 1615. Remnants of a 13th-century chantry chapel of St Leonard have been incorporated into a barn.According to the 2011 UK census, Osgodby parish had a population of 1,248, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 1,186.

The Holbeck Hall Hotel was a clifftop hotel in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, owned by the Turner family. It was built in 1879 by George Alderson Smith as a private residence, and was later converted to a hotel.On 4 June 1993, 55 metres (180 ft) of the 70 metres (230 ft) hotel garden had disappeared from view, the beginning of a landslide which gradually became more severe, and finally on 5 June 1993, after a day of heavy rain, parts of the building collapsed, making news around the world. The hotel's chimney stack collapsed live on television just as Yorkshire TV's Calendar regional news programme went on air covering the building's precarious condition. Richard Whiteley was presenting the item at the time of the collapse. The remainder of the building was demolished for safety reasons. One of the likely contributing causes of the landslide was the substantial rain in the two months before it occurred. The mud flow from the landslide protruded 135 metres (443 ft) beyond the high-water mark.Landslides are a common problem in Scarborough and along the coast from Filey to Whitby.In 1997, the hotel's collapse became the subject of a significant court case in English civil law (Holbeck Hall Hotel Ltd v Scarborough BC) when the owners of the hotel attempted to sue Scarborough Borough Council for damages, alleging that as owners of the shoreline they had not taken any practical measures at all to prevent the landslip – from soft, to hard engineering, nothing was done. The claim was rejected on the grounds that the Council was not liable for the causes of the slip because it was not reasonably foreseeable. Reasonable foreseeability is a requirement for liability in negligence and nuisance in English and Welsh tort law.

St John the Baptist's Church is the parish church of Cayton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was constructed in the 12th century, from which period the chancel, north aisle, and part of the nave date. In the 15th century, the nave was extended, and a tower and north chapel were added. There was at one time a vault, which has since been filled in. In 1947, a clock was installed on the tower, celebrating that it was believed to be one of the doubly Thankful Villages. The church was Grade I listed in 1967. The church is built of sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north chapel and vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, two-light flat-topped bell openings, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The gabled porch contains a round-arched Norman doorway that has two orders of shafts with scalloped capitals, and the arch with chevron decoration. Inside the church is a slightly pointed 12th-century arcade, and a 12th-century font on a 19th-century base. The wooden door and doorframe to the tower date from 1678. There is a slab on the chancel floor with a brass inscription dating from 1452, and there are also some 18th-century monuments. There is an 18th-century charity board, and the oak communion table is 17th century.

Killerby Old Hall is a historic building in Cayton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the 17th century. It was remodelled in the mid 18th century, and in the 19th century, it was heightened, and the roof was replaced. During this period, a new Killerby Hall was built nearby, for James Cooper, with the older building becoming a farmhouse. It was Grade II listed in 1967. Its grounds now house a caravan park, and plans were announced in 2024 to convert one of its outbuildings into a wedding venue. The house is built of sandstone, with quoins, a moulded string course, and a hipped slate roof. It has two storeys, five bays, and it incorporates an earlier staircase tower on the left. The central doorway is approached by stone steps and has a divided fanlight, and the windows on the front are sashes; all these openings have splayed architraves. In the returns are mullioned and transomed windows, and the staircase tower has a blocked Tudor arched doorway and a mullioned window above. Inside, there is a 17th-century staircase, moved from elsewhere, reused 17th century panelling in one first floor room, and a massive 18th century fireplace with a bread oven in the former kitchen.

In April 2021, Historic England announced the discovery of an important Roman residential site during a survey for a new housing estate, suggesting it to be either a religious sanctuary, a luxury villa or combination of both. It is a type of building layout not known of elsewhere in Britain. Within hours of the announcement of the discovery, people trespassed onto the site and caused damage to the building. The discovery of the site caused a reduction of planned homes, from approximately 150 to 94.

Cayton railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Cayton on the Yorkshire Coast Line from Scarborough to Hull and was opened on 5 October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 5 May 1952. Like its neighbour at Gristhorpe, the former station house here remains standing as a private dwelling. The former signal box here has though been demolished, as the level crossing it worked has been converted to automatic barrier operation. One platform has also survives, though it is heavily overgrown and difficult to see.

Scarborough Harbour is a sheltered area of water in the town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, in England. Scarborough Castle was built in the 12th century, and this spurred the development of the town of Scarborough. In the second half of the 13th century, what is now the Old Pier was built, to provide shelter for the Old Harbour. This became the most important harbour between the River Tees and the Humber Estuary, on the east coast of England. The Inner Island Pier was constructed to the west of the Old Pier, around 1325. While the shoreline of the harbour was initially on Quay Street, the harbour gradually sanded up, and Sandside was built on the new shoreline. By 1565/1566 the pier was in ruins, when Elizabeth I of England funded its rebuilding. Soon after 1732, Vincent's Pier was built, extending the line of the Old Pier and thereby enlarging the harbour, although it was only attached to the Old Pier by a drawbridge. It is named after William Vincent, who designed the structure. In 1800, the Scarborough Pier Lighthouse was erected on Vincent's Pier. The East Pier was constructed between 1790 and 1812, creating the East Harbour between it and the existing piers. John Smeaton acted as a consultant on the construction. It is 1,380 feet (420 m) long. In 1817, the Inner Island Pier was demolished, and replaced by the West Pier, more fully enclosing the Old Harbour. Later in the 19th century, buildings were constructed on the West Pier, including the harbour master's office, and fish sheds. In 1940, Scarborough Lifeboat Station was erected next to the pier. The piers have been regularly repaired, and in 2025, £1.8 million was allocated for repairs to the West Pier. There are plans to upgrade facilities on the pier, at a cost of £20 million. The two older piers are built from stone rubble with timber shearings. The East and West piers are built of massive stone blocks, the largest weighing up to 30 tons. The East Pier is built in a curve. The piers are collectively grade II listed. In the early 19th century, shipbuilding took place in the Old Harbour. Today, the East Harbour is used for mooring pleasure craft, while the Old Harbour is largely used by commercial vessels, including the town's fishing fleet. It also has a slipway providing access from Sandside. From 2020 until 2025, SeaGrown's "Southern Star" was moored in the harbour, with a visitor centre, cafe, and seaweed hatchery. There is a sculpture of seaweed on the East Pier, and one entitled "Diving Belle" on Vincent's Pier.
