Description of institution: Speeton is a village in the civil parish of Reighton, in North Yorkshire, England. It lies near the edge of the coastal cliffs midway between Filey and Bridlington. It is North Yorkshire's easternmost settlement, but historically lay in the East Riding of Yorkshire until local government re-organisation in 1974.

A local geological feature, the Speeton Clay (approximately 130 million years old), was the source of an especially interesting fossil of the Hermit crab.
