Scarborough is a vibrant and engaging holiday destination all year round. If you want to explore the stunning Yorkshire countryside and historic sights, Scarborough is a great base. Head to Scarborough Castle or join the famous Cleveland Way walk. You can also visit the nearby Peasholm Park and Italian Gardens, or drive to the amazing Dalby Forest.
