A walk round Runswick Bay with Colin and Lucie on warm Septembers day.
Runswick Bay
Runswick Bay is undoubtedly one of the Yorkshire Coast’s most scenic destinations, with its picturesque bay and red-roofed fishing cottages nestled against the surrounding cliffs
History of Runswick Bay
Runswick Bay was originally a fishing village and although it appears to have changed little over the centuries, it has gone through considerable changes in the past. The most dramatic of these was when a landslide destroyed the entire village (except for one house) in 1682 and it had to be rebuilt. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the disaster. Legend has it that the entire population of the village was at a wake for a recently departed comrade…and that, ironically, it was the deceased man’s house which was the only building left standing!
