For over a hundred years it has charmed visitors with beautiful views, a rugged coastline, charming cottages roofed with red slate, cobbled streets and sandy beaches. But locals in a picturesque Yorkshire coastal village say they are being priced out of where they live – with tourism to blame.

Are we going to lose those sorts of things?” “Everyone who owns a business wants it to be a tourist spot but everyone who doesn't own a business doesn't want that. It’s the train you can’t stop. In a few weeks, you'll see how the tourists are parked across everyone's drive and the ambulances can't come round.”
