RUNSWICK, a village in Hinderwell parish, N. R. Yorkshire; overhanging a bay of its own name, 8 miles N W of Whitby. It consists of thatched or red-tiled cottages, on the slopes or tiers of a cliffy ascent, communicating with one another only by foot-paths. The bay runs considerably inland, and is very picturesque. A cave, called Hobhole, 70 feet by 20, has been excavatedby the waves in alum rock, and can be entered at lowwater.
