SCARBOROUGH ENGLAND | The best holiday seaside town in the UK?

We take a walk along the beach and seafront in Scarborough North Yorkshire, England. This holiday destination has everything you could want from great beaches, castle, the Grand Hotel, amusement arcades and more.
Scarborough is a town located on the North Sea coast of England. It is a popular seaside resort in the county of North Yorkshire.
Scarborough is situated on the east coast of England, facing the North Sea. The town's location has made it a popular destination for tourists and holidaymakers seeking beachside activities.
Scarborough has a rich history dating back over 3,000 years. The town was established as a Viking settlement and later developed into a medieval fishing village. Its strategic location led to the construction of Scarborough Castle, which overlooks the town and the sea.
The town's main industry is tourism. It has been a popular holiday destination since the 17th century, attracting visitors with its sandy beaches, traditional amusement arcades, and picturesque seafront.
Seaside holiday Attractions: In addition to Scarborough Castle, other notable attractions include the Spa Complex, a venue for concerts and events; Peasholm Park, a beautiful Japanese-themed park with a boating lake; and the Stephen Joseph Theatre, known for its association with playwright Alan Ayckbourn.
Scarborough boasts two beautiful beaches, North Bay and South Bay, which offer opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and various water sports.
Scarborough Fair: The town was immortalized in the popular English ballad "Scarborough Fair," which recounts a love story associated with the town's historical market fair.
Scarborough is well-connected by road and rail. The A64 road links the town to York and Leeds, while the Scarborough railway station connects it to major cities in the region.
Beyond its beaches and parks, Scarborough is also close to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, a stunning area of natural beauty with rolling hills, forests, and heather-covered moorland.
I love Scarborough and I hope you visit soon for a holiday in this amazing travel destination full of great attractions!

Love Scarborough its my happy place ❤

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Mine too

[@andypalin3287]

For me it's my spiritual home having gone for family hols back in the 60's and early 70's. North Yorkshire is my favourite county and retirement destination! 😃

[@annbolland3215]

Love Scarbough we stay up the North bay we will be back again this August Thanks for the video 🎉

[@tinarichmond3302]

Yes same here - I’m staying there in a couple of weeks 😊

[@Past-melody]

For me, probably be in Devon, Dorset or Cornwall some of those areas have more of a tropical feel to them imo.

[@andys8483]

I haven't yet done Cornwall (it's on my bucket list), but I luv ❤ Dorset & Devon.

[@deelatham5080]

You’ve bought back lots of fabulous memories from living in Scarborough in 1980/81 when working as a Redcoat at the Grand Hotel. Its hasn’t seemed to have changed much, still a lovely town by the looks of it! ❤️ Thank you great video 👏

[@shantapooh7409]

The Beaches Bed and Breakfast is a lovely welcoming place to stay in Scarborough, such generous host. My husband and I go every year to Scarborough for his birthday for a relaxing mini vacation ❤

[@peterscotney1]

I lived here for a short while , and I found it to be an interesting little town that was great for walking around !

[@janetteno3]

Very nostalgic Scarborough ism my old home town it has a lot to offer and has lovely areas

[@tracyjacobs7862]

Love Scarborough so much. We went on family holidays every year and my sister and I spent a summer working at the Grand and the Royal Hotels ❤

[@simonround6003]

I'm coming to Scarborough next week for a few days. Been many times and I always look forward to going back I absolutely love it.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Have a great time What a fantastic place it is!

[@reneeconlan]

Beautiful!

[@alisonthomson4142]

Thank you so much for a wonderful walk down memory lane, one of my favourite seaside places & you managed to capture the magic ! looking forward to seeing more of your superb filming now I have discovered your channel. The Big Wheel was a surprise for me, hopefully it’s lit up at night😊

[@Tiomofee]

I spent several weeks in Scarborough with a friend many years ago. I liked the city very much. We walked the Cleveland way further north in summer and I still have the best memories. I really enjoyed staying in Scarborough. I am from Germany and I wish I owned a house somewhere in the countryside of Yorkshire. Best would be on the seaside with a small pub to relax there. On our walk we found several of those. And yes, Scarborough would be fine although it seems it is also a bit busy sometimes. 🙂 Brilliant video, thank you so much. :-)

[@corinnemachin1723]

❤❤I love to hear the seagulls. Don't stop recording them. Please?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Let me know where else you'd like to see me film - throw your ideas at me! Where should I go next?

[@jackrobertson8960]

I think you should visit Bury St Edmunds! It’s a great market town in Suffolk with a lot of history! Abbey Gardens is especially beautiful. Abbey gate Street is also a very good shopping street and then there’s the lively market and the Arc Shopping Centre. Bury St Edmunds actually has quite a few independent shops. It’s worth a visit!

[@roytabberer7427]

Dovedale in Derbyshire is lovely.

[@lynsouthern3042]

What about going to all the twin towns that you've mentioned?

[@corinnemachin1723]

I love all your walks. Even places I've been to. You take me on the holidays I can't go to now. X

[@markroberts9770]

Brilliant video. We love Scarborough

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Me too!

[@joshslater2426]

I’ve been going to Scarborough from a very young age. I’ll admit that a lot of the shops have shut down which is pretty annoying, but there’s still a lot to see and do. There’s a nice Italian restaurant I love dining at, there are a few good shops, the views and architecture are nice, and there’s the swimming baths (which I’m worried might be closing down. I hope it doesn’t close but I’m glad I got to go at least once).

[@charliegardner6804]

Great video thanks for sharing 👍.

Scarborough IS the best . My late wife and I spent very many happy holidays there .

Well said - Scarborough is the greatest

I went on the cliff railway ride earlier this year with my parents , sister, brother in law and niece, I remember in the 90s, my parents used to take me and my sister every day on this, but it was only 20p for kids

Yeh it’s way more now isn’t it!

Hi!! When was this filmed?

[@FunFunFun1900]

I'm 15 and a half nearly 16 years old and honestly, I'm in love with this place! I am thinking about moving here to live at some point next year when I'm 16 and a half so yeah thank you for this video I love it!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Go for it!

Thanks! @@GimbalWalkTV

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Certainly the best one in the north. We had several family holidays in Scarborough in the late '60s/early '70s. Then I went on my own twice on my motorbike, the first time stopping in a bedsit for one week at 7 GB pounds.

The seaside is lovely. But Alpamare 😍😍

Hi I just came to live in scarborough just before Christmas. Yes it's a stunning town, although I haven't seen much yet, but I certainly intend to. I'm on the north side near the castle. Anything interesting this side. 😂obviously the castle. Thanks for sharing it was wonderful, ive got a lot to see.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Oh yes - lots to explore! North Bay has Peasholm Park but not much more

I'm subbed to your channel, love the seaside walkabouts. Have you done Heysham and the ferry port yet?

[@denisebell8422]

Was it cold there everyone seems to be wearing jackets 🤔

[@Trust3]

England is Beautiful and Historic, Scarborough seems like a very walkable city, only thing that I didn't care for by viewing is that it was the middle of July and most were wearing jackets sweaters etc that part seemed sad to me, other than that I like it very much.

[@ThePixey1000]

It used to be my favourite place but not any more it changed.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Oh no! What happened

[@km-dt5ye]

Iv lived in Scarborough all my life, there is nothing left the council have ruined it. We used to have kinderland, Mr marvels, atlantis and much more the 90s were amazing here, now we jst have a new waterpark that's average and costs bout 100 quid for the family for 4 hrs. Everything else is gone

[@tinarichmond3302]

That’s sad to hear 😕 I’ve been seriously thinking of moving to Scarborough but I’ve become aware of the area as favouring tourists more than residents 😕

[@seedat2006]

Oh that's a shame.was there last year for the first time visiting my sister.

Another fantastic video of my favourite place❤

All white no POC in Scarborough. Wow!

[@naithy3984]

Would you be able to do a video in a town called Loughborough because I can't find many videos of Loughborough and it has a market Thursday and Saturday.

[@jediknight2350]

looks great i must go there and check it out whats parking like have they got those stupid dodgy cameras everywhere that screw you and fine you even if you just turn around in a place lol.

[@trevormegson7583]

It's around 20 years since I visited Scarborough. I think another visit is due shortly. Thanks for the reintroduction.

[@conaningram1030]

You'd love it you really would. If you're planning on staying over I highly recommend the premier inn the one that is a stones throw from all the shops and the beach. Hotels to avoid I'd say without a doubt St Nicholas Hotel/Travelodge unless you want to get bitten to hell by fleas, shocking quality rooms in there. 2 much better Hotels are Palm Court (it has a swimmimg pool) which is over the road from premier inn or Crown Spa which is another lovely hotel that also has a swimming pool but it's not cheap, even 10 years ago a round of drinks which consisted of two double baileys and 2 half a Lemonade's and the price was shocking, no change out of £20 let's put it that way, I had to pay around £22 just for those drinks so I'd highly recommend going into town, having some drinks there and save yourself a small fortune 😀

[@trevormegson7583]

@@conaningram1030 Thank you for the recommendations and information. Much appreciated.

[@stephenmaloney3283]

Hi Neil Love your walk around Scarborough just thought you could film in the market hall sometime

He has in previous videos I'm sure he has. Might be worth spending some time having a good look through his other Scarborough videos as they're just great 👍

Not according to some it was in the worst top 10 this year apparently.

[@conaningram1030]

Load of nonsense that, don't believe everything you read, I'd say to everyone, go and visit these so called worst places and make your own minds up. Scarborough is an excellent place to visit in my opinion

Brilliant Town but please do not, do not, do not use Beachcomber Bus’s, it’s an independent company and if you do use them pay with the EXACT cost of the fare, don’t even consider paying with £10 or £20 note👌🧐😉😢

[@conaningram1030]

Why do you say not to use beachcomber buses? I'm just curious as that's a big statement to come out with and I'd like to know your reasoning for saying that and why not to pay with £10 or £20 notes

Not impressed. Looks so lowbrow. Thanks for helping to sort out where not to visit also.
