1. Museum of Victorian Science
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 278 reviews
A virtual visit to Dr Frankensteins laboratory with Geissler Tubes, Bouquet Tubes, Railway Tubes, Jacob's Ladder, telegraph system, early x-ray tubes and many more crackling spark, electric flame laden demonstrations. Showing the education of the young Victorians, using many of the static accessories and rare artefacts, as used by them. We hope your visit here will prove interesting, stimulating and will give an insight into this largely extinct branch of science.

What an amazing and unique experience. The museum is run by a lovely couple an consists of 2 hours of demonstrations with explanation and refreshments at the halfway point. The room is small and can fit 4 visitors only. Tony is so enthusiastic and the museum is his lifes work, an entertaining and unique experience!

A magical small theatre within the Spa Complex hosted the show. The performances of all the cast.... Singers/Magician/Juggler and the Puppet show was polished and enthusiastic. The audience age group spanned under 10's to shall we say a more senior age! All were enthralled from start to finish. A great show. It is on until the 7th of September/

This former railway line has been turned into a cycling/walking/riding path. Makes for good easy walking, an alternative to the Cleveland Way.

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.

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.
