RUNSWICK BAY

RUNSWICK BAY
ESK VALLEY

Situated  on Yorkshire's east coast between Whitby and Staithes in the Esk valley, Runswick Bay is a delightful small coastal village full of charm and character seemingly clinging to the cliffs at the foot of a very steep hill. 

The sandy beach and sheltered bay with cliffs on either side proved an ideal location for fishermen for almost 600 years but the future of Runswick Bay now lies in tourism and its array of brightly painted cottages built into the cliff face provide a delightful attraction.

Below are a small selection of photographs taken at Runswick Bay.  Selecting any image will open up a new window from where you can navigate through the images as a slide show.  Simply close that window to return to this page.
