Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre is a small rural parish just south of Whitby on the fringe of the North York Moors in North Yorkshire. The area centres on the twin villages of Hawsker and Stainsacre, with a landscape of mixed farmland, hedgerows and pocketed woodland that slips towards the coast; it’s popular with walkers as a gateway to moorland routes and parts of the Cleveland Way.
Locally the economy mixes agriculture with tourism and people who commute into Whitby, and the built environment reflects a long history of rural life in stone cottages, farmsteads and small local businesses. There is a quietly active community character, with village amenities and seasonal visitors drawn by the scenery, coastal access and proximity to the national park.
