About Loftus

Loftus perches on the North Yorkshire coast between Whitby and Middlesbrough, accessible via the A174 coastal road. This former mining town offers dramatic clifftop views and serves as a base for exploring nearby coastal villages like Skinningrove and Brotton. The Loftus Town Football Club's Welfare Ground sits remarkably close to the cliff edge, creating one of England's most dramatically positioned non-league stadiums.
