Scarborough in General

Scarborough, olde english seaside resort, stunning architectural elegance and picturesque views situated in a glorious location with two bays of quite unbelievable contrast. Having spent quite a few weeks in the place over the years I have never tired of the spectacular coastline and golden sand encased in a clear blue horizon. There are many interesting things for the holiday maker to do here from visiting Peasholm Park in North bay and taking in the miniature naval battle, the park is a gem of a place with pedolos aplenty and stunning ornamental gardens, Atlantis water park is nearby, a huge outdoor swimming pool with large flumes to rival similar ...  Read the complete review

I have mixed feelings about Scarborough. On the one hand I have some good memories of family breaks there from my childhood, but then going back as an adult it doesn't quite live up to my fond memories. Scarborough is an English seaside resort located on the East coast. It is within easy driving distance from places such as York, Hull, Leeds, Middlesbrough and my home city, Sheffield. What to do -------------- Scarborough is divided into 2 distinct areas: the North Bay and the South Bay which are separated by a large headland on top of which sits the ruins of Scarborough Castle. The two bays are very different to each other with ...  Read the complete review

Scarborough is another place where I spent much of my childhood. This Coastal town is set in North Yorkshire. There really is something for everyone. The town is really split in half by the massive cliffs stretching out into the sea, with the famous Scarborough Castle sat on top. So you have the North and South sides. The south side is were the main town is situated. It has all the shops, pubs, restaurants you would expect from an average sized town. Down on the sea front there are numerous arcades, is a little like Blackpool, but nicer. All the glitz and glam you get in some seaside towns. The beach on the South side isn't anything too ...  Read the complete review

Scarborough is so often an under rated sea side resort in the UK. It offers many of the things you can get in the likes of Blackpool and Great Yarmouth apart from possibly the night life. If a night on the booze is not what you are looking for then there is no reason at all not to go to Scarborough. The town, situated in North Yorkshire is pefect for couple and families alike and offers lots of variety, easily enough to go there for a weeks holiday. I first went to Scarborough in the early 1990s and it still ranks as one of my favourite holidays. Naturally my interests and needs from Scarborough have changed now, but they will be perfect for my daughter in a ...  Read the complete review

Scarborough A few years ago, an American exchange student I'd shared a room with over in Germany sent me a typed circular letter proclaiming that he'd just got engaged to his wonderful fiancé in the "happiest place on earth" - Disneyland Florida. Cringeworthy stuff I'm sure you'll agree, but it did get me thinking as to where in the world my "happy place is" and the inescapable truth dawned on me - For me it has to be Scarborough!! - now before you start questioning my sanity, particularly when I tell you that I've travelled to the States, most of Continental Europe, lived in Germany, the Gulf, in Africa - I grant ...  Read the complete review
