The opinion of the Voyage Privé travel expert on Scarborough

Scarborough is renowned for its Victorian-era heritage when the town was developed as a spa resort. Today, the coastal walkways and promenades are awash with impressive 19th-century hotels and inns which serviced English tourists searching for the town’s healing waters. You can still take a dip in these regenerative waters today before strolling around the charming town centre and picking up a portion of fresh fish and chips.

Scarborough – a moody medieval heritage

Although many visit Scarborough for its spas, beaches and typical sea resort-town attractions, it’s got a striking medieval history beneath the surface. Scarborough was once a major medieval fishing centre. This history can still be felt in the dramatic and romantic castle ruins. From the ruins of a Roman signal station to Henry II's tower, a visit to Scarborough Castle is a must. You can also potter over to the impressive 12th-century St Mary's Church, a moody and gothic highlight that's home to Anne Brontë's grave.
