About Runswick Bay

  • Runswick Bay is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages on the east coast of England. The village consists of a cluster of red-roofed cottages clinging to the steep cliff above the bay, with narrow paths and steps connecting the houses. The village has been a favourite subject for artists since the 19th century and continues to attract painters and photographers.
  • The beach at Runswick Bay is one of the finest on the Yorkshire coast, a broad sandy bay sheltered by the headlands on either side. The beach is popular with families and is one of the most accessible on the Cleveland coast. The rock pools at the northern end of the beach are rich in marine life.
  • The Cleveland Way long-distance footpath passes through Runswick Bay on its route along the Yorkshire coast. The stretch of the path between Runswick Bay and Staithes to the north is one of the most dramatic on the entire route, with outstanding views of the cliffs and the North Sea.
  • Runswick Bay has a strong fishing heritage, and the village was once home to a substantial fleet of cobles — the traditional flat-bottomed fishing boats of the Yorkshire coast. The lifeboat station at Runswick Bay was one of the most active on the coast, and the village has a long tradition of seafaring and rescue.
