What other sites have to say about Runswick Bay:

“This picturesque bay, fringed

with golden sand, is on the Cleveland Way Walk through the National Park. The bay provided safe anchorage for fish

ing boats for more than 600 years and when the industry began to decline, its unique setting attracted first artists and

then holidaymakers.” The fine sandy beach with good surf is a popular destination for sunbathers, swimmers and

surfers alike. Another feature which draws many enthusiasts are the rugged cliffs, perforated by caves or 'hob holes' which were reputedly occupied by

hobgoblins, but are in fact home to many fine fossil specimens. The views from the bay to Kettleness are magnificent and

with its quaint fishing cottages and traditional appeal, Runswick Bay is a picture postcard resort where many artists come from all over the

world to paint the views.” yorkshireholidays.com

“The village of Runswick shelters at the northern end of

a beautiful sandy beach.

Narrow paths wind between the attractive cottages and houses

with their small colourful gardens. The thatched property on the seafront is one of the last remaining thatched houses on

the Yorkshire coast.” yorkshiremoorsandcoast.com

“Runswick Bay has been inhabited since before Roman times, as burial mounds found on the moors behind the village suggest, but never has its appeal been more apparent than now. This delightful hideaway, with its steep track down into the bay, is another picture postcard example of the East Coast delights, its sheltered anchorage offering an ideal spot for fishermen, whalers and smugglers.

The Preventive Service was still active on this part of the coastline as late as 1828, when smuggling began to decline. Now the same beaches which were the stamping ground for illegal traders are appreciated by visitors who wander round the tiny back streets of the blue and white painted village to the north or down the narrow alleyways which link the tiered stone cottages to the south.” Yorksiretour.co.uk

Certainly a site more than worth the visit is docbrowns circular walk from Runswick to Kettleness and back fantastic pictures.

This stone built character cottage caters for 6 people and is situated in heart of the picturesque lower village of Runswick Bay in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. With 3 bedrooms and a first floor lounge making the most of the extensive superb sea and coastal views.

The quaint village of Runswick Bay with its picturesque cottages looks out on one of the loveliest bays in the north of England. Situated on the Cleveland Way Walk and within a few miles of Whitby and Staithes, both popular tourist centers in their own right.

Runswick Bay is today very much a holiday village, if you take time to wander through the narrow passages and climb the steps, you can easily imagine what life used to be like in this once busy fishing village.

From the top of the village is a spectacular view over the pantiled roofs and across the bay towards Kettleness.
