Claymoor End is a prominent headland located in Yorkshire, England. Situated along the picturesque Yorkshire coastline, it stands as a striking coastal feature that attracts both locals and tourists alike. This rugged headland juts out into the North Sea, providing breathtaking views and a sense of tranquility.

The headland is characterized by its towering cliffs, which are composed of various sedimentary rock formations, including sandstone and shale. These cliffs have been formed over millions of years through the natural processes of erosion and weathering. The constant battering of the sea against the rocks has carved out caves and arches that can be explored during low tide.

At the top of the headland, visitors can find a grassy plateau that offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding coastline. This area is a popular spot for picnics, nature walks, and birdwatching, as Claymoor End is home to a diverse range of bird species, including puffins, gannets, and razorbills.

In addition to its natural beauty, Claymoor End also holds historical significance. The headland is dotted with ancient ruins and archaeological sites, providing a glimpse into the area's rich past. These remnants of human habitation indicate that this area has been occupied for thousands of years, with evidence of Roman, Viking, and Medieval settlements.

Overall, Claymoor End stands as a captivating coastal feature in Yorkshire, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Whether it's exploring the rugged cliffs, marveling at the wildlife, or immersing oneself in the area's rich history, this headland is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

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.

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.
