Your next place to explore

Discover Scarborough & Filey

Scarborough’s two bays and Filey’s long sandy sweep give you two distinct Yorkshire seaside bases. Choose a lively resort day, a gentler promenade wander or a coastal outing shaped around the tide and weather.

Mix castle views and town attractions in Scarborough with a separate Filey day. The coast between them has its own attractions, but check each location rather than assuming everything is in the centre of either town.

Start exploring

Three ways to discover Scarborough & Filey

Choose a starting point, then take the day at your own pace.

History

Scarborough Castle

Explore the headland castle and its setting between the bays. It is an exposed site, so plan around weather and check access information.

Beach days

Scarborough’s bays

Compare the seaside atmosphere around South Bay with a North Bay outing. A route around the headland needs its own distance and weather check.

Slower seaside

Filey seafront

Take a separate day for Filey’s promenade and sandy shore. Check tides before walking towards the Brigg and keep away from cliff bases.

Little explorers welcome

Make memories with the family

Peasholm Park

Plan a park break in Scarborough around the current visitor facilities and seasonal activities. It is a change of pace from the seafront rather than another admission-heavy day.

Out in the open

A breath of fresh air

Coastal-path walks

Choose a short stretch from official coastal walking advice. Cliffs, steps and changing conditions make this different from a flat promenade stroll.

Keep a plan B

When the weather turns

Local flavours

Good food, no rush

Food & drink in Scarborough & Filey

Pick up fish and chips by the harbour, or browse Filey’s cafés for a quieter lunch stop. Keep the two towns’ meal plans separate when organising transport.

A little less obvious

South Cliff gardens

Investigate Scarborough’s landscaped cliff-side gardens for another view of the resort. Check paths and access rather than assuming all routes are level.

Stay a little longer

There’s more around the corner

Whitby — Whitby Harbour, ship

Whitby

Whitby’s harbour, abbey skyline and steep old streets make a seaside holiday with a strong sense of history. Add the surrounding moors and fishing villages for days that feel quite different from the main beach.

North York Moors — The sea of purple in North York Moors 02

North York Moors

Heather moorland, wooded valleys and a coastline of small fishing villages make the North York Moors much more than a drive across open hills. Pickering, Helmsley and the Esk Valley give you useful starting points for varied countryside days.

Yorkshire Dales — Malham Cove

Yorkshire Dales

Stone villages, hay meadows and broad limestone valleys give the Yorkshire Dales a countryside rhythm of its own. Plan around a dale, not a race between viewpoints, and leave time for short walks, food stops and local history.

A little planning goes a long way

Good to know before you go

Planning your visit

Scarborough and Filey have rail connections, but the final link to a holiday park varies. Use current transport information and check seasonal parking arrangements for each town.

Access, opening & seasonal changes

Check current attraction opening, detailed accessibility information and local restrictions for your dates. Ask the operator about any particular needs before booking rather than relying on a general destination description.
