A thriving fishing community located on Yorkshire’s stunning coastline, Scarborough is arguably one of England’s oldest seaside resorts becoming a holiday destination over 400 years ago when the health properties of the Spa waters were discovered. The undisputed ‘Queen of the Yorkshire Coast’, the town stands between two splendid bays divided by a rugged headland on which sit the remains of a medieval castle. Scarborough offers a wealth of attractions including theatres, parks, cafes, and a vibrant nightlife. The colourful working harbour is a hive of activity whilst the majestic Victorian promenade sweeps between the bays. There are a wide variety of shops to suit all tastes plus stunning floral gardens, in particular South Cliff and the remarkable Peasolm Park with it’s oriental influences.
