Scarborough
Scarborough is Yorkshire's original seaside resort, spread across two sweeping bays beneath a medieval clifftop castle. Ride the Victorian funiculars, relax on golden sands, catch a show at the Spa or a play at the open-air theatre. With its harbour, amusements, gardens and the rugged coastline of the North York Moors nearby, Scarborough delivers timeless bucket-and-spade charm alongside heritage and stunning sea views.
Scarborough helped invent the British seaside holiday, and it still does it beautifully. Two glorious bays curve beneath a headland crowned by a ruined medieval castle, giving the town its unmistakable shape. North Bay is quieter and family-friendly; South Bay buzzes with amusements, a harbour and traditional fish stalls. Ride a clanking Victorian funicular down the cliff, wander the ornamental gardens, or take in a play at the famous open-air theatre. Everywhere you look, the view stretches out to sea.
Getting to this Yorkshire favourite is wonderfully easy. Coach tours to Scarborough take the effort out of travel, delivering you right to the resort with time to spare. From there you can build sandcastles, promenade along the front, explore the castle or head out to the moors and Whitby along the coast.
