Scarborough: Guide
Scarborough is a town (population 60,000) on the North Sea coast of Yorkshire in England. Safe sandy beaches and a mineral spa have made Scarborough one of the great Northern seaside resorts for decades past.
Get in
By car
The main route into Scarborough from Yorkshire and the south is the A64 from Leeds and York - a trunk route with a mix of dual- and single-carriageway, it can get very busy during the summer and at weekends.
Other routes are the A170 from Thirsk and Pickering and the coastal routes - the A165 to the south, from Hull and the East Riding, and the A171 to the north, from Whitby and Teesside. Again, heavy traffic can be a problem.
Although there is plenty of parking in the town centre, it can get filled up quickly during the summer, and if you are just visiting for the day, you may find it easiest to use the Park & Ride at Weaponness, clearly signposted as you approach the town centre.
By train
run an hourly fast train service to York, Leeds and Manchester, with onward connections to the rest of the country. run a less frequent service down the coast to Bridlington and Hull.
By bus
run an hourly service from Whitby, with additional services during the summer (timetable for ).
For passengers on a budget, run a coach once daily from London.
run an hourly bus to York and Leeds (timetable for ), and run an hourly bus to Bridlington and Hull (timetable for ). These are slower than the train services, but are cheaper.
Get around
Most of the attractions in Scarborough are along the seafront, and this will be easily walkable for most people. There are regular along the seafront if you don't feel like walking.
There is an extensive serving all areas of the town and nearby villages, using modern low-floor buses, operated by .
Although the town is an ideal size to cycle around, much of it is quite hilly, so less fit cyclists may find it a challenge.
See
Scarborough Castle
The Harbour Bar on the foreshore, South Bay, has the best icecream in town (for summer). Its fantastic, kitch yet completely genuine 1960s coffee shop serves horlicks, hot chocolate & Bovril drinks (just what you need to warm you up after a walk on the sea-front on a cold winters day)
For good fish and chips, you should try Mother Hubbards, just of the main street (Westborough). Climb the stairs to fish and chip heaven, and great value.
Coffee at it's best - Roasters. Fully qualified Barista and boy it shows. mmm.. coffee
