Runswick Bay

Well we are back in Hull after a great week on the coast. On our final day of our holiday we drove about twenty miles north to the very pretty village of Runswick Bay . We had a good walk along the beach in sweet light , it felt more like early summer than November. Runswick is smaller than Robin Hoods Bay but it has similar ingredients little cottages huddled together under cliffs . The thatched property on the extreme right of the village is the only remaining thatched house on the Yorkshire coast.

Although it appears a timeless scene, Runswick has seen dramatic changes. Due to the instability of the soft, slippery Jurassic shales, there was a landslip in 1682 and the whole village had to be rebuilt. They made a very good job

Anyway we had such an enjoyable week and our cottage was so comfortable that we have booked it again in November 2022. Cornwall may be more fashionable and popular but I would choose North Yorkshire anytime . Its much more peaceful, less pretentious and the beer is better
