Scarborough with York St Nicholas Fayre

Resort - Scarborough Festive Tours

Overview

Scarborough is arguably the oldest seaside resort in Britain - sea bathing was being promoted here in 1660, more than a century before it became fashionable elsewhere. But Scarborough has an even older history with an impressive medieval castle and even the remains of a Roman signal station. The busy harbour is haven to a welter of fishing vessels and there are the usual seaside pursuits a-plenty on the adjacent South Bay promenade which leads to the Spa. The steep hill sides are beautifully landscaped and there are many attractive parks and gardens. The resort is noted for its theatres and there is an art gallery and several small museums.

Day 2 - York St Nicholas Fayre

  • Our visit to York coincides with the traditional St Nicholas Fayre, with its markets, entertainment and festive ambiance.
  • Today we visit York, a vibrant festival city with Roman roots and a Viking past, offering an adventure for everyone. York boasts a wealth of places to visit including the Roman walls, the famous York Minster, the National Railway Museum and the fascinating Jorvik Viking Centre (entrance fees may apply). You can take a stroll down the Shambles, one of the best preserved medieval streets in Europe, believed to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter films.

Day 3 - Alias Christmas Day

Day 4 - Whitby 'Boxing Day'

  • Whitby, on the banks of the River Esk, is dominated by the remains of a 13th century Benedictine abbey.
  • Atop the West Cliff is a monument to Whitby's whaling past - two giant tusks frame the view.
  • Captain Cook lived here in 1746 and there is an interesting museum explaining his adventures (entry fee applies).

Day 5 - Return Travel

Very well situated on the South Cliff a few minutes walk from the Spa complex, beach and town centre with excellent views of the town from the north facing rooms. This excellent hotel has recently been extensively refurbished.
