The Most Perfect Seaside Village You've Never Heard of

[@xakarooo]

Doesn't get any better than this!- the Yorkshire coast!! Beautiful part of the world and wonderful people!!!.. great footage again James😊

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

Hello there.us here in Lancashire are loving your showing of the East coast. It's been marvelous so far. So thank you and your girlfriend for the delightful video's. On that note a very Merry Christmas and a happy New year.🎉

[@alanmoss3479]

Turning the corner and seeing Sandsend harbour is one of the best views ever, never fails to lift my spirits

[@Jacqui-e7k]

I'm loving theses Vlogs James, many thanks.

[@LindenButters]

You cannot beat a brisk walk in the chill winter air. Walking warms me up and the cold is a welcoming refresher! Keep your soul calm and fed I say!

[@grahamhall2105]

When we were kids, when the weather was cold, our dad used to say "have you got your gansey on". We never really understood where he had got that saying from, but now we know. Thanks for that, James.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

I love the villages you visited today, they are truly charming and I didn't spot any annoying wind farms spoiling the sea view. The story of the ganseys was so interesting too!

[@susannah1184]

Two lovely places, always like to visit them. Happy Christmas James and Helen, thanks for all the great vlogs xx

[@resurgem]

Another lovely vlog James, it is so interesting to see these lesser known places, and it is fascinating to know about the different gansey designs.

[@Gazr965]

Our favourite pub in Whitby is the Little Angel, unspoiled traditional pub. 18 Flower gate, Whitby YO21 3BA Gaz Yorkshire.

[@kittyroo-x4p]

That little village was heavenly. James have you been to Grange over Sands and the village of Cartmel? Its on the other side of the country on Morecambe Bay, but in nice weather its truly beautiful, atmospheric and traditional.

[@bythecurb]

No, I've not been there but will visit next year

[@doreenjackson7287]

Just good for your soul , it feeds you with happy thoughts good for mind and body. So needed to see this today , beautiful none better. Thank you James , happy memories of Sandsend too

[@paulrduffield]

When we lived at Robin hoods bay my mum used to knot the local ganzee for her fisherman friends. I know a local.man at Robin hoods bay he is a fisherman. Pm me and I will give you his details and he can chat with you when you get to Robin hoods bay

[@SandraPrice-c5g]

Lungfuls of fresh air, great scenery. I always love anywhere by the water. Another side to Yorkshire I’ve never seen, just more picturesque and being Winter, quieter. Lovely set of videos you’ve posted James, so well done again - you’re becoming a past master at this lark. I wish you & Helen a very Happy Christmas holiday time with your families. Thankyou 💕💕💕💕💕

[@susannetoon2709]

Takes my breath away.Just si clean and feeling untouched.To hear the waves and dogs running free .Just love the yorkshire costline .Beautiful day.Love Sx

[@wolfmoon2010]

It’s a lovely walk from Whitby to Sandsend on the beach, my dogs love it.

[@geoffreyburton15]

Done that walk a few times with my wife. Beautiful !

[@cornwall9]

Cracking vid that James, thank you and Merry Christmas to you , Helen and your family.

[@paulineknowles40]

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, Happy Christmas to you too :-)

[@joline2730]

​@@bythecurb be sure Elfie doesn't eat all the sweets or Pud ‼️

[@KevinGrimes-t2o]

This is why I watch your vlogs, stunning places I've never heard of, away from the tourist traps of Whitby. Envy you.

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Helen is rubbing off on you shoving Mr Elf like that!! 😂 great video James ….Smithy

[@kathymarik1932]

Thanks James. My favourite part of Yorkshire when I lived over there. I live in Australia now and the temp today was 35 cell.Have a wonderful Christmas,Helen too

[@MarkShields-ie3hi]

Amazing story amazing video amazing drone footage, the sounds will be dropping off pal.

[@Steven-ns3rg]

I love Runswick Bay remember going there as a kid on Sunday school trip.Picnic and games on the beach and when it came to leaving we had to walk up the hill because bus couldn't make it up the hill with passengers on!

[@Karenemm1]

Great Video James - This Year I Went From Whitby to Sandsend as I was Staying at The Royal Hotel - Amazing Views Outside The Royal Hotel and Calm and Very Peaceful At Sandsend - Your Videos are Brilliant So Looking Forward To Whitby Tomorrow - Thanks

[@janicehartley8525]

How beautiful is that scenery. Thanks for showing this. Never been there. Have a good Christmas ❤

[@kennybrydges9084]

thanks James.. and Merry Christmas to you both 🎄🍻

[@catevanslife]

A lovely vlog, James. Happy Christmas to you and Helen and your families. ❤

[@helenreasbeck1348]

Very interesting about the fishermens jumpers and bet they wasn't cheap with all the work that went into them. I love the Yorkshire coast, we always stay at Middlewood Farm near Robin Hoods Bay as you can walk down through the farmers fields to the chip shop in the bottom of the Bay. Roll on Summer 2025 so I can travel again when my holidays renew. Wishing you and Helen a Very Merry Christmas

[@NeilBates-k3t]

I always enjoy your videos being a fellow Yorkshire man I love the places you visit, your drone shows how these beautiful villages and towns develop over time I love the way they are nestled into the hillside, keep it up friend you do a great job

[@yorkslad1559]

Another excellent vlog James. I live at Scarborough and know all the places you've visited in your coastal journey . Still find em enjoyable. Lived here 70yrs and still cosider myself lucky to have so much on my doorstep . If you stop off at Robin Hoods Bay check out the stream that runs onto the beach alongside the access ramp to the beach. It used to be used by smugglers and if U dare to enter the tunnel it takes you under the village. Just make sure tides going out if you go in. Enjoy

[@callad56]

Great video , I love that coast, such beautiful places. Really interesting about the ganseys, I knew what they were but didn’t realise the reason why each place had its own design. Looking forward to Robin Hoods Bay, I’ve fond memories of it after completing the coast to coast with my late husband.

[@LindenButters]

Have a fab time in your comfy and luxurious home. It looks great and you are motoring like a king. Happy Christmas and phenomenal New Year. God bless you and Helen xx

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, happy Christmas

[@robertthrossell4321]

Absolutely beautiful place is Runswick bay, brilliant footage James loved it..

[@chrisdaniels2705]

We started visiting Yorkshire two years ago stayed at different places around a twenty mile radious of Pickering for two to five days even day trips loved it so much we moved here from Cheshire October this year. Cheaper cost of living in bills, independent shops everything is well kept there is pride in the appearance of everything. The people in the village we moved too have been so welcoming and in a short period of time made friends. We live between Thornton le Dale and Snaighton, on xmas eve Runswick bay is full of locals, families etc walking on the beach, Whitby is well worth a visit👍

[@Tony-tourette]

One of our favourite u tubers you and Helen But we see Steve marsh sniffing some hand cleaner the other night , Helen has entered the realms of another great u tubers mind 😂 Best wishes and have a great Xmas Tourette’s Tony 😊

[@UKvet246]

James what you are doing is awesome, the introduction of a bit of the local history is simply nailing it.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you :-)

[@cornwall9]

That Berties and the jumpers looks fantastic. How nice was her voice as well😊

[@andrewrobinson2565]

2:00 That handrail is a testament to Great British nouse. This real research and storytelling is a 100% improvement of your scripts. ❤+1

[@blakey5993]

Love the seaside in Winter so I'm thoroughly enjoying this trip . Wishing you Helen and all the families a really great Christmas and Healthy New Year

[@ShelleyBentley-j7v]

Absolutely beautiful places and countryside James😊 Model towns and villages ❤ Very interesting about the Jumpers 😊

[@PaulStockill]

I remember as a kid, back in the 1950s doing several walks along the beach from Whitby to Sandsend. I those days you saw local fishermen wearing those blue jumpers you were looking at in the shop.

[@sharononeill8049]

Just loving the Yorkshire coast series really jealous but your doing a grand job ❤

[@davidwoodham1307]

James got some nice little shops mate little town would have a lots of history . James You are never stop learning mate i hope have nice day be safe mate

[@nicholas2311]

Great vids of east coast brill!

[@PaulEnt1]

As usual another great vlog , I’d love to see a year end vlog of you and Helen doing your favourite towns ,places and pubs home and abroad

[@walkingonsunshine-65]

😂.I'm a northerner lived in devon past 27.years.and it's hilly in most of devon and as I'm getting older it's starting to knacker,me,so I know how you feel.

[@erniejohns3750]

OMG It so lovely to see such a smile on your face, great vlog. MERRY XMAS

[@bythecurb]

Merry Christmas mate

[@lindam3384]

liking these, drone shots beautiful and the Gansey was really interesting. cute things in that shop for ur little one

[@annrimmington8690]

Yorkshire tourist board should be sponsoring you James, fab scenery, love it in winter. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@cassyburton6813]

After Robin Hoods Bay and before Scarborough visit Hayburn Wyke, there is a waterfall on the beach beautiful location/walk!

[@hazels27]

What lovely countryside, even in winter. My father use to call a jumper a ‘gansey’ and I did not know where it came from. Thank you for showing us the lovely Yorkshire coastal area.

[@robineasby5328]

Runswick Bay is beautiful and you did it ful, justice, James. I never new there were different types of gansies. Thanks for another informative vlog James. Looking forward to Whitby. Thanks for posting.

[@mybiglad]

Merry Christmas to you both and have a great New Year 🥳

[@christoguichard4311]

I'm really enjoying these little snapshots of places I've never even HEARD of James. The perfect little video. A couple of unassuming little communities..."lost in time"...but with proud traditions, and loads of history. The fisherman's jumper thing was something I've never heard of?...which is a bit embarrassing for someone who's spent much of his life sea fishing and studying local history. So...there's ALWAYS some new little "nugget" to learn! Thanks James ☺️

[@bythecurb]

I didn't know about them too. I just always called them fisherman's jumpers!!

[@RobertGoldie-x2t]

I’m from Glasgow, but found myself parked at the top of that Runswick Bay hill with my van this summer, I was out of breath by the half way bench too lol. It’s my favourite Yorkshire bay. Saltburn too. Whitby is wonderful. But Runswick bay has a timeless authenticity with virtually no commercialism, bar the parking.

[@merauble6658]

Love the effort you put into your vlogs, physically and metaphorically! Seriously though, thank you 😊

[@stephenwood9104]

Absolutely stunning James, thank you for sharing another great video, happy Christmas to you, your family and hellibobs 🎄❤️👍

[@Rowan-d2y]

Great shots of sky, land & sea. Interesting info. Happy 🎄 Christmas to you Helen and families.

[@DianeNeedham-c7k]

Another great vlog. Loving your trips along the Yorkshire coasts. Hope you and Helen and family have a lovely Christmas ❤

[@stillshakin2125]

I like Runswick Bay, very calming on your soul on a quiet day. The last time i visited (a few months ago) the weather was similar but with no wind, very tranquil and i just did not want to leave! Since then i have decided to buy a house very nearby to "spin out the clock" with my wife😁😁

[@jamesbevan8116]

Enjoy all your vloggs james

[@bythecurb]

Thank you :-)

[@cassyburton6813]

At Sandsend walk past Fish Cottage and there is a walk through the Mulgrave Estate wood up to the castle ruins, lovely walk. Or if you park at the carpark at the back is some steps up to a walk on to the headland and a secret beach with a waterfall running at the side if the steps and the beach is full of amorite fossils!

[@vimtorules]

Whitby is magical . Every time you wear that jacket, i just see The Range employee 😅 Merry Christmas to you and Helen , have a fabulous day .🧑‍🎄🌲🎁

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, Merry Christmas

[@biffboff2006]

Thank you James for taking us on a beautiful and stunning adventure ❤love these type of places so beautiful ❤️ the drone pictures hope you Helen and your families have a fantastic Christmas 🌲🌲🌲

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, Merry Christmas! :-)

[@doreenjackson7287]

Happy Christmas James &Helen hope it’s a good’en 🫶🏻🎉

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Oh, James, so sorry about the all your wind lately, but at least you got it up in the end😉 Hope Elf's recovered for Christmas...😥

[@davidhoyland5730]

Hi James , When you go to Robin Hoods bay ,go to the very end of the beach and round the corner , there is another beach (boggle hole) last time you went ,you turned back before it,ps there is a hostel there too bar /restaurant ,couldnt say if it will be open or not ,you can also go over the top if tide is in ,there is a footpath up behind the old lifeboat museum ,, 👍

[@yorkslad1559]

Yep Boggle Hole is a great setting. Think the cafe/ bar is all part of the Youth Hostel.

[@sonicstoryteller]

Stunning place that James TFS all the best Phil from the shire 👍

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Phil

[@Strokes1983]

That screw fix over from the penny hedge and all them units we built a couple of years ago. It was just a field when we turned up

[@fionabutler-kg7sv]

Merry Christmas to you and Helen 🎉🍾🍷

[@dianeleahy3345]

Great Yorkshire trip. I loved all the information about the Ganseys , who wouldn’t want one of those right now in this weather. Thanks James, and happy Christmas to you and Helen.🎄

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Happy Christmas :-)

[@richardbrown8966]

the gansey sequence was really interesting

[@kittyroo-x4p]

My dad always called his jumpers a gansey and now i know where it comes from, it's very interesting.

[@DenzilLatimer]

Gansey. Interesting word to use in Scrabble this Christmas !

[@GaryLightowler-v5f]

So happy. Keep up the great work x

[@knavesmire007]

Smashing vlogs of the Yorkshire coast James. The Cleveland Way trail goes down the coast from Saltburn to Filey along the cliffs. I bet you feel fit after walking up those steep hills back to your van. The walks back up from Runswick Bay and Staithes are right calf burners. You'll be as fit as a lop.

[@suzieq2958]

James that was great thank you! What a beautiful couple of villages they are! Loved the drone footage too! You made me laugh with the "I feel really bad... no I don't"! Helen, I do hope you get time to get everything done you need to do MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS!😊💜

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, Merry Christmas

[@wristopia4101]

Have you been to Stamford? Stunningly British to a point I thought no longer existed!

[@geoffreycodling8071]

I discovered Runswick Bay last year, you did'n't see half of it. The little back streets are great if you don't get lost and now you've gone and spoiled it.

[@ChristineMakemson]

The walk down to Runswick bay was gorgeous. Don’t fancy the walk back up. Sands End is equally as good. Loved the shops and those jumpers either different patterns was interesting. Great informative vlog James. ❤

[@martintaylor5879]

James brilliant time spent at Runswick bay it's probably the best beach on the east coast and you caught it's beauty in yr drone and walking time there

[@GillianHurst-l6y]

You should explore the Northumberland coast every bit as beautiful as the Yorkshire Coast Try Bamburgh Beadnell Low Newton, Craster Cambois and some amazing chippies as well

[@elizabethdunn2992]

Loving this tour James, never even heard of these little places so learning a lot. ❤

[@patshepherd784]

I have enjoyed it. Did the tour 2years ago and loved it. Thank you.

[@stevenvamplew7145]

make sure you dont get cut off by incoming tide pal. on spring tides it comes in big style if wind is in right direction

[@garynicholson2678]

James The Ivanhoe in scarborough you can park overnight at the top of the sea life centre

[@mark2781]

Thornwick bay, and seafarm, worth a look, near flamborough! And a lovely little beach, called danes dyke! 👌 hope you get chance to visit them! .. great vlogs James! 💯 💚

[@dannyrants7787]

Great vlog. Very interesting. Omg.. My legs are aching just watching walk up that hill .. I have a friend in Brid so looking forward to seeing that vlog.. aint been there for many moons .. Well it's great to see these beautiful little coves. Thanks for sharing Take care. Si thee

[@paulgrace1848]

Absolutely brilliant James 👍

[@FlyFree2023]

Another great Vlog. Your relaxed style transfers over to your viewers. Well it does for me👍. Best Wishes for Christmas and New Year.

[@lindenthornton9277]

Glad you enjoyed 2 of my fave places, great pub in both Runswick and Sandsend have been many times and have stayed at Raithwaite hotel and eaten at the Hart. Make sure you get to Flamborough.

[@markdyballuk]

was fortunate to go for a week in sandgate with Wakefield college during art foundation course in 1986, lovely place... Berties looks great

[@karencolling3736]

James you made me laugh ya wally fancy putting ya camera down to video yourself walking up the hill not realising you had to go back & pick it up ( so funny ) 😂🤣😂🤣

[@carlleedham6256]

Loving the vlogs James, Merry Christmas

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Happy Christmas :-)

[@vandaventures1186]

Great vlog, love runswick and sandsend in fact I just love the Yorkshire coast. Merry Christmas to you and Helen 🎄🎅🎁⛄

[@reetpateet8656]

With you there vanda! 🙂

[@bythecurb]

Happy Christmas :-)

[@carlfama140]

Nice beach and views. We've been many times.

[@kennethmoore7651]

Another hidden gem James beautiful 👌

[@KathySiddle]

At the end, I noticed Elfie leaning over to be in the shot,then you picked him up and chucked in the corner!!!! 😮 Another great trip out, James. 1901, those women just did what they had to do-hard life, to say the least. The fishermans jumpers lasyed for years,repaired time after time.I suppose in those days the pattern for each place made sure they were returned to their loved ones. I'm looking forward to Whitby and the abbey steps!!! Well done on the drone footage 😊

[@Jiayne1335]

Id not bother placing the camera down to catch me walking sod that James. Looks a beautiful beach and that story was very moving shows how much courage those ladies showed to save their loved ones.
