Hinderwell is a small village on the North Yorkshire coast of England, set just inland from the dramatic cliffs and bays of the Heritage Coast and close to the fishing coves of Runswick Bay and Staithes. It sits on the edge of the North York Moors, making it a handy base for coastal and moorland walks.

Historically the area has links with farming, fishing and nearby 19th‑century ironstone workings, but today the local economy leans on agriculture and tourism: walkers, birdwatchers and fossil hunters are common visitors, and routes such as the Cleveland Way pass nearby. The village retains a quiet, community feel with a few local shops, pubs and events that reflect its coastal and rural heritage.
