We travel to Scarborough with some free time before checking into our hotel.<br /><br /><br />
Enjoy free time in Whitby, one of England's best-loved seaside towns! Famous for its literary connections with Bram Stoker and rumoured to be where he got his inspiration for Dracula - you might choose to climb the 199 steps from the old town to the churchyard of St Mary's or perhaps visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, located in the seventeenth-century harbourside house where he served his apprenticeship.<br />
Enjoy all the fun of the seaside in our resort today. Immerse yourself in the town's history at Scarborough Castle or head down to the seafront and enjoy the traditional amusement arcades, ice cream parlours and beach huts.<br />
An OPTIONAL FULL DAY EXCURSION with our first at Flamborough Head, one of the Yorkshire coast's most picturesque locations. There will be a quick opportunity for you to take a picture of the Flamborough Lighthouse - the oldest complete lighthouse in the world - before we continue to spend the rest of the day in bright and breezy Bridlington, a resort blessed with sandy beaches, award-winning promenades and a historic harbour, it is a hidden seaside gem awash with traditional entertainment for you to enjoy.<br /><br /><br />
We begin the drive home via a visit to York along the way.<br />
Overlooking the town's picturesque harbour and South Bay, this stunning Victorian hotel is an ideal base to enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches, promenade walks, and all that Scarborough has to offer.
