The campsite is lovely, clean facilities and has beautiful surroundings. The warden and staff could be more accommodating and helpful during the stormiest weather I’ve ever camped in. They even gave us some milk for a brew, when we hadn’t had chance to shop yet. I would highly recommend staying here and will happily stay again.

St Mary's Church

Reviewed By 353cliffw - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Stopped off at the church by chance on way to the abbey and we’re glad we did as it was a most interesting place which should not be missed. The enclosed pews of various shapes and sizes and status fill the ground floor and balcony which overlook a three tier pulpit. Most unusual and fascinating. Some of the upstairs pews have external timber clad stairs adding to it’s uniqueness. Finally the surrounding graveyard offers fine views of the harbour.

Scarborough Castle

BLUE BADGE PARKING ONLY IS AVAILABLE. OTHER PARKING PLEASE USE LOCAL PAY & DISPLAY. Head through the imposing gatehouse and step into 3,000 years of history. Explore the castle headland with one of our experienced guides for FREE or embark on your own journey through history with one of our audio tours and gain a fascinating insight into its past, from Iron Age settlements, to the Roman signal station and medieval chapel. The castle's heyday was in the 12th century when it was developed by Henry II and King John. This mighty castle has seen action in some of England's most defining battles. It was twice besieged by Parliamentarians in the Civil War, and has defended king and country from the Jacobites, Napoleon and the German Kaiser, when it came under bombardment during the First World War.

Scarborough Castle is steeped in history and the dominant landmark over this lovely seaside town. It is owned by English Heritage and so is free to members. I would advise that it is best visited on a lovely, bright blue sky day (any time of year though) to get the best ambience. The sun lighting up the stonework is awesome and we saw enjoyed it today on a lovely winter outing! You only need to spot the castle as you approach Scarborough to realise that there is a bit of a pull to get up there, but the paths are good. A lovely very unspoiled historical site with no gimmicks - bliss! There are picnic tables and light refreshments available. Dog friendly too. Whether local or a visitor do take a look. We love it.
