Scarborough is a pretty and popular resort with two sandy bays split by a headland bearing a twelfth century castle with a turbulent history of medieval sieges, civil war armies and WWII naval bombardment. The town has a Victorian funicular train linking the centre with the bay and harbour. Don’t miss the oriental themed Peasholm Park, voted sixth best park in the UK and where you’ll find Japanese gardens, a boating lake and waterfalls as well as the world famous Naval Warfare – a unique miniature naval battle that has been shown on TV screens across the globe. Another must see is the Rotunda Museum, set in a curved Grade II listed building, it displays fascinating and ancient artefacts. Perhaps you’d like to view fine art at the resort’s gallery, housed in an Italianate villa in Crescent Gardens. Take a trip on the quaint North Bay Miniature Railway, make use of the open top buses to see the sights, enjoy a cliff top stroll, amble around the harbour or relax in a pavement café.
