Runswick Bay is an attractive bay in North Yorkshire with a small village at the north-west end and a sandy beach to the south-east. It is popular with visitors and once had a thriving artistic community. It's claimed to be perfect for a traditional bucket and spade type holiday - and fossils can occasionally be found on the beach. Originally a fishing village, it was almost completely obliterated by a landslide in the 17th century. The rebuilt village has attractive red-tiled roofs and is almost totally unsuitable for motor vehicles.
Runswick lies on the Cleveland Way trail and is just 5 miles north of Whitby.
