Skinningrove

---

Welcome to Skinningrove — a hidden gem on the North Yorkshire coast where rugged cliffs meet sweeping beaches, and time seems to slow just enough to take in the salty breeze. Our Novus properties here offer everything from cosy one-bed hideaways to spacious houses for up to 9 guests, perfect for families, friends, or those wanting a break from it all.

• Location & Landscape
  Skinningrove is a small village (population ~460) in the civil parish of Loftus, Redcar & Cleveland. Wikipedia It has an Old Norse name meaning “skinners’ grove or pit,” a nod to its rugged, storied past. Wikipedia It lies right on the coast, with the Cleveland Way trail winding through, giving walkers and nature lovers plenty of options. Wikipedia+2expedia+2
