RUNSWICK BAY | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2021

Join me for a walk around the heart of the gorgeous seaside village of Runswick Bay, located on the always glorious Yorkshire coast! Home to a series of small cottages perched on a cliff, this is one of Yorkshire's smallest villages, overlooking one of the coast's largest bays, with a long history of fishing, smuggling, and a few local legends!
On our walk around Runswick Bay, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Runswick Sands, Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station, Runswick Bay Methodist Chapel, former Coastguard's Cottage, Runswick Bay Sea Wall and Runswick Bay itself.

My Uncle Harry Rowe was the milkman of Runswick Bay and Hinderwell and also councillor and twice Mayor of Scarborough . I find it very sad that its only holiday homes now !

[@nigelcooper878]

I remember Harry well in fact we moved into his house in Browns Terrace Hinderwell in 1959 I believe Harry moved from there to the top of Runswick bank.

@@nigelcooper878 That's wonderful !!!! I never knew until he died that he was a war hero at El Alamein and on the beaches of Normandy ! He never ever mentioned it ! His Uncle with the same name died on the Somme on July 7th 1916 . ( His name is on the war memorial at Thiepval .) My Grandfather gave Harry the same name Stephen Henry Rowe ! The Best man I ever met and he was my Uncle ??? As a boy I went with them delivering milk in Hinderwell and Runswick in his Standard van ! At 83 years of age he was delivering ,"Meals on Wheels" !!! ( I live in Jeffreys Bay , South Africa and have been here 44 years and have never been back )

An historic and beautiful village with just 14 permanent residents....Robert Goodwill MP on a visit recently asked if there was a power cut as there were no lights on in the village...🤣🤣

So here I'm supposed to pronounce the W in Runswick? But not in Warwick. Oh English, you kill me bit by bit.
