Jarvis' Landing Hole

Port Mulgrave seen from Rosedale Wyke A harbour was built in 1856-27 on Rosedale Wyke to ship ironstone from Charles Palmer&#039;s nearby mine. When the mine at Rosedale Wyke began to give out a mine (Grinkle Mine) was established three miles inland near Dalehouse. The ore was moved from the mine to the port along a tramway which finished in a tunnel a mile long emerging 10m above the sea in the cliff above the harbour. Ships were loaded from a gantry on the east harbour wall.
In 1916 Grinkle Mine was linked to the railway network and the harbour at Port Mulgrave began to fall into decay. The west harbour wall was destroyed by the army in World War II to prevent it being used by a potential German invasion.

Lane up from the beach at Runswick Bay

The lane becomes steep as it heads for the upper part of the village. The entrance to a public car park (pay and display in summer, free in winter) can be seen on the left; this is the only facility for visitors but there are also car parks for residents and members of the sailing club. Parking is not allowed on the road, enforced with double yellow lines.

Runswick Bay

A former fishing village, now very much a holiday destination (many of the properties here are holiday lets), the village at Runswick Bay huddles around the north end of the beach. It was in fact relocated to this site in 1682 after the original village was destroyed in a landslip. This is one of the best-loved locations on the Yorkshire coast.

This narrow lane passes through the lower village above the beach. The Royal Hotel, actually the village pub, is just ahead on the left (but out of shot).

Runswick Bay: Kayaks and Rescue Boat Station

A number of colourful kayaks are stored here just above the beach and behind them is the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat Station. This inshore facility operates independently of the RNLI and was established in 1982 after the lifeboat was moved to Staithes.
