After our departure, we follow the road north with a stop in historic York. An unspoilt cobbled city packed with history and heritage, York has an incredible wealth of things to see and do. After our visit, we continue onto our hotel in Scarborough.
After breakfast, we drive through the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors to Whitby, a much-loved seaside town! Famous for its connections with Bram Stoker and Dracula, why not climb the famous steps to Whitby Abbey for bird's eye views of the bay below? If you're looking for maritime history, you'll find the Captain Cook Memorial Museum in the 17th-century harbourside house where he served his apprenticeship. Remember to enjoy some fish and chips or track down classic Whitby Jet, which makes for the perfect souvenir!
Enjoy Scarborough at your own pace today. Whether you stroll into the lively town centre and the sandy South Bay Beach or take in the spectacular views of the surrounding coast, North Bay and the old town - the choice is yours! In addition, you’ll have your choice of charming cafés, seafood restaurants and traditional English pubs to help make your day one to remember. Why not visit Peasholm Park Gardens, an oriental-themed park with beautiful streams, waterfalls, mini bridges and magical gardens? There's something for everyone to enjoy today!<br />
We begin our day travelling through Filey to Bridlington, a resort known for its sandy beaches, awardwinning promenades and historic harbour. Behind the long, flat seafront, you will find a thriving town centre to explore. Afterwards, we travel the short distance to Flamborough Head, with a visit to the Lighthouse Visitors Centre included.
After leaving our hotel, we journey home with a stop in beautiful Beverley, a market town and home to a magnificent minister.
Scarborough's oldest purpose-built hotel, the Crown Spa is a jewel on the North Yorkshire coast. Retaining its original architectural charms, enjoy tasteful modern rooms and facilities, including its very own luxury spa complex.
