Lythe is a small village and civil parish on the north‑east coast of North Yorkshire, England, where heather‑topped moorland meets dramatic coastal cliffs. Its setting on the edge of the North York Moors gives a mix of sweeping sea views, arable and pastoral farmland and quiet lanes favoured by walkers and birdwatchers; coastal long‑distance paths and local footpaths nearby make it a popular stop for people exploring the coastline.
Historically rooted in agriculture with longstanding links to coastal fishing and stone‑built architecture, the local economy today blends farming with holiday accommodation and small rural businesses. Community life remains active around the village hall and pub, with local conservation and heritage interests helping to preserve the landscape and the simple village character that draws visitors and residents alike.
