Enjoy both seaside and city on this delightful holiday, based in Scarborough with outings to atmospheric Whitby and the fairytale city of York. Scarborough is a pretty resort with two sandy bays split by a headland bearing the ruins of a twelfth century castle which has a turbulent history of medieval sieges and WWII naval bombardment. This traditional seaside town has well-maintained gardens and a Victorian funicular train linking the centre with the harbour. Don’t miss the oriental themed Peasholm Park where you’ll find Japanese gardens, a boating lake, scenic trails 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 gem is the Rotunda Museum, set in a Grade II listed building, it displays fascinating 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 North Bay Miniature Railway, make use of the open top buses to see the sights, enjoy a cliff top stroll, or amble around the harbour.
