Scarborough offers plenty of ways to enjoy the season

Peasholm Park

Peasholm Park is a calm and scenic place to visit in spring. As the flowers begin to bloom and the trees regain their colour, the park becomes a peaceful setting for a stroll or a quiet afternoon.

You can walk around the lake, cross the small bridges, or simply sit and enjoy the surroundings. It’s an easy and accessible way to spend time outdoors.

Scarborough Castle

For those who enjoy history and views, Scarborough Castle is a great place to explore.

Set high above the coastline, it offers stunning views across both the North Bay and South Bay. Spring is an ideal time to visit, with clearer skies and comfortable temperatures making it easier to walk around and take everything in.

North Bay and coastal walks

North Bay

North Bay is perfect for a refreshing spring walk. It’s often a little quieter than the South Bay, making it ideal if you’re looking for a more peaceful atmosphere.

Take a walk along the promenade, enjoy the sea views, and breathe in the fresh coastal air. There are also places nearby to stop for a drink or a bite to eat.

The Cleveland Way

For those wanting to explore a little further, part of the Cleveland Way National Trail runs through Scarborough.

In spring, this route offers some of the best coastal scenery, with cliffs, open views, and plenty of wildlife. You don’t need to do the full trail—just a short section can make for a rewarding and enjoyable walk.

South Bay and the harbour

As spring arrives, South Bay begins to feel more lively again. The harbour area is a great place to walk, watch the boats, and enjoy the changing atmosphere of the town.

With cafés, shops, and plenty of places to sit, it’s a nice balance between activity and relaxation.

Open Air Theatre surroundings
