Runswick Bay



It doesn't take much to put a smile on Harrys face, sticks and beaches seem to do the trick each time. It was our first trip to Runswick bay and like most bays in this area tricky to get down to because of the steep gradient. There was a small public carpark at the bottom, a bit pricey at three quid for three hours, alright if you were staying the full 3 hours of course but we were a bit limited because of Harry's dodgy elbow joint. It turned out to be more of a whistlestop tour really. I'd like to have stayed longer because it was lovely and secluded, the beach renowned for fossils, not that we found any.

  1. Good old Harry. He seems to be willing to try most anything, dodgy elbow joint or not! Your beaches are so picturesque. Am wondering about the top photo...is that where the steps are to get down to the beach? You've captured that old building beautifully...it could be a post card!

  2. Thanks Cherylk. No you can actually drive down close to the beach but the gradient takes your breath away the first time because you are not expecting it. It's like going over the top on a rollercoater. Will post some more pics soon of the surrounding area Staithes is another great place of with character it has all the smuggling history being an old port
