So called as it used to be part of the Grinkle Park estate and originally owned by Sir Mark Palmer, today it is part of the Mulgrave Estate. Also traditionally called the ”Thatched Cottage” it is perched on the western end of the lower sea wall at Runswick Bay. The cottage was later used as an holiday home by Vet Alf Wight, better known as ”James Herriot”.
