Travel to Scarborough

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. The quickest route is to turn off at the Bridlington junction and then take the scenic route towards Bridlington. The scenery is stunning and will definitely not disappoint.

Other routes are the A170 from Thirsk and Pickering (England)|Pickering and the coastal routes—the A165 to the south, from Kingston upon Hull|Hull and East Yorkshire, 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 visiting just for the day, you may find it easiest to use the Park and Ride at Weaponness, clearly signposted as you approach the town centre.

A daily, continuous Park and Ride service operates throughout the year from two sites, one on Filey Road for traffic from the south and the second on Seamer Road for traffic from the west

A regular travel news service is provided on yorkshirecoastradio.com/travelnews.php Yorkshire Coast Radio (96.2FM).

Travel on a Bus in Scarborough

Some of the attractions in Scarborough are along the seafront, some are in the town centre, a short walk inland up the steep primary street. When you get to either area, everything will be easily walkable for most people. There are regular buses if you don't feel like walking.

There is an extensive local bus service serving all areas of the town and nearby villages, using modern low-floor buses, operated by Scarborough & District.

By bike

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.

Best things to do in Scarborough

The Castle headland divides the coast into two bays, each different in character. South Bay is developed, and you'll find amusement arcades, a funfair and the harbour and the Spa complex, donkey rides, and all the colour of a traditional English seaside resort. North Bay, by contrast, is relatively undeveloped and is quieter.

Other walks you should do include the Italian Gardens on the South Bay, just off the Esplanade. Walk up and around Oliver's Mount, which offers spectacular views around the town.
