rugged coastline, and this invigorating walk links two of the most attractive coastal villages found on its shores.
Before leaving Runswick Bay, take a few moments to appreciate the outstanding views. The entire length of Runswick Bay’s beautiful sandy beach stretches out below, and in the distance, the inviting headland of Kettleness beckons. In the lower part of the village, which we explore more intimately in walk four, clusters of gleaming, red-roofed cottages huddle together on the steep hillside, linked by a maze of narrow pedestrian alleyways.
From the car park, we follow the road into Hinderwell, which apparently takes its name from ‘Hild’s well’, a holy well in the grounds of St Hilda’s Church. According to legend, while returning …show more content…

The Cleveland Way formerly led away from the cliff edge to cross the slopes of Beacon Hill. However, the track now utilises a section of the England Coast Path, which takes walkers closer to the cliff edge and provides superb views of Staithes, the harbour and Cowbar Nab, with Boulby Cliffs towering behind.
The England Coast Path will eventually follow the entire coast of England, and when completed, it will be the world’s longest coastal path covering a total distance of around 2795 miles (4498km).
At Port Mulgrave, a forlorn old jetty continues to endure the fury of the waves in the tiny harbour below. The harbour which opened in 1857, offered cheaper transportation by sea, to take ironstone from the local mines to the blast furnaces at Jarrow on Tyneside, which produced steel for the shipbuilding industry. Much of the ore came from the Grinkle Ironstone Mine, 3 miles (5km) inland. The ore travelled on a narrow gauge railway which crossed three wooden viaducts and passed through two tunnels to reach the harbour.
During World War One, iron was a vital resource and ships leaving the port were in danger of attack. Therefore, in 1916, the Grinkle mine was connected to the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway after which Port Mulgrave became

    The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the very first fight of colonists against the British.

    The colonists that came to North America were ill-prepared in a number of ways, and they had to adapt their original expectations after they arrived. The combination of issues with labor, commerce, government, and Native Americans created a uniquely American identity. One main problem was the amount of energy needed to develop the new colonies. The development projects, such as deforestation, planting the fields, and harvesting them, required a vast amount of workers, and there simply weren’t enough workers to do the job. Different areas dealt with the shortage differently.

  • Emotional And Character Development In Bronte's Jane Eyre

    1588 Words  | 7 Pages

    Bronte 's Jane Eyre transcends the genres of literature to depict the emotional and character development of its protagonist. Although no overall genre dominates the novel exclusively, the vivid use of setting contributes towards the portrayal of Bronte’s bildungsroman (Realisms, 92) and defines the protagonist’s struggles as she grapples with her inner-self, and the social expectations of her gender. The novel incorporates Jane’s frequent conflicts, oppression, isolation and self-examination as she defends her identity and independence. Set amongst five separate locations, Bronte’s skilful use of literal and metaphorical landscapes, nature, and imagery, skilfully intertwines with the plot and denotes each phrase of her maturity.
