- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- Join me for an epic walk up and down the hills around the town centre of Scarborough, Britain's oldest and favourite seaside resort. With a history dating back well over 1,000 years, Scarborough has quite the story to tell, complete with stunning seaside scenery, immense landmarks, gorgeous beaches, and a few surprises in store too.
As we walk around Scarborough, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Scarborough Spa Bridge, The Grand Hotel, the McBean Steps, the Central Tramway, South Bay Beach, The Big Wheel, Scarborough seafront gardens, The Royal Hotel, Queen Victoria Statue, Scarborough Town Hall, Newborough, Scarborough Market Hall, St. John the Evangelist Church (former), Trinity House, Butter Cross, Scarborough Joke Shop, The Bolts, Scarborough Harbour, Bethel Mission Chapel, King Richard III House, Luna Park, South Toll House, The Headland, Scarborough Castle, St. Mary's Church, the grave of Anne Brontë, and then all the way back down the hill to South Bay Beach once again.

Scarborough is so nice and that ship battle in the park they do is amazing
It really is! And the town really does have a great way of showing off its heritage like few others - it's always a fascinating and beautiful place to visit :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
When you live there, it's a shithole
The famous Navel warfare.
Good evening! Thank you so much to everybody for helping us reach the incredible milestone of 3,000 subscribers! I'm really grateful and happy to see that you're all enjoying these videos so much, and as a special treat for us hitting the 3,000 mark, please enjoy this bumper 43-minute walk around gorgeous Scarborough :)
Quickly, some bonus info on Scarborough, and its impressive railway station, which we didn't manage to visit in this walk: Opened in 1845, Scarborough railway station was of course instrumental in bringing more tourists to the booming seaside resort, but did you know that it also holds a very unique world record? Indeed, Scarborough railway station is home to the world's longest platform seat, measuring a whopping 456ft/139m!
Congratulations for the 3000 subscribers.
Excellent video and its great to watch with no talking the subtitles are a good idea
@@imranzazai7404 Thank you so much! I'm very grateful for the subscriptions - it really helps me to make more great videos :)
@@robertwilletts4122 Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - I hope you found it a nice window into the atmosphere of Scarborough on a quiet sunny day :)
Not only been there I was born there , but never lived there saw the Rolling Stones at the spa 69/70 I now live in Western Australia aged 72
I saw The Beatles at the Futurist in 63' I was only a kid then !
How very interesting! I do hope this video brought back some memories - if you can remember back to when you were born, or of the Stones instead :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Wow! Another brilliant claim to fame in Scarborough - this town is full of surprises and great stories :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Same Barry,Perth has a Scarborough Beach.
I remember the The Tree Walk at peasholm park back in the 70's, all in all Scarbough is a beautiful place, thank you for sharing this wonderful video
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough really is a beautiful place, with so many wonderful places like Peasholm Park :)
Thank you very much for watching!
As an American my family's genealogy is centered on the British Isles and I feel drawn to the ancient histories of towns like Whitby and Scarborough. Fascinating video. Thank-You.
Thank you so much! Towns like Whitby and Scarborough are so steeped in history wherever you look - and that's just the wider history of the town, your family history will be even more detailed and fascinating I'm sure :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
i have been going to scarborough since i was a boy and you have shown me places i have never been, i am now 63, so thankyou so very much, i look forward to walking where you did.
Ha ha that's wonderful to hear! Scarborough is a place so full of things to do that you can easily miss out on a few of its treasures even after visiting time and time again - I certainly didn't know about some of the hidden gems on the back streets above the beach before I made this video, so I do hope you enjoy exploring a new side to a town you're already familiar with :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
For anybody that knows and loves everything Scarborough , watching this video is truly rewarding .Thanks for posting ( and all the walking ! ) .
Thank you so much! That means so much to hear :) I absolutely love visiting Scarborough (thought I'm not a local), and it's always a real joy to walk around the streets and discover the town's fascinating history - there's just so much to see!
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I have some lovely memories memories of Scarborough. I stayed in 1986 in early December. I was supposed to be going to a party, but it was cancelled due to the hostess being ill. In those days I could walk almost anywhere. My balance has almost completely gone (not helped by 18 months of lockdown) but this is like reliving those walks I enjoyed over that weekend. The saddest bit was deciding to spend the evening in Gala Land and finding it closed and boarded up. I found a little market instead and got a fat book to read for the night. I've had a lovely time on my virtual walk. Thank you for the video.
That's a smashing video of Scarborough I have spent many Happy hours there.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a wonderful place and I'm sure you have many a great memory by the seaside there :)
I'm confused but impressed why someone with a camera knows more about the town i live in than me.
Ha ha thank you very much! A lot of research went into making this video - but I do hope that you learned some new things about your hometown, which you're very lucky to call home might I add :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Enjoyed this during a Sunday morning lie in on my island in the South Pacific! Treat yourself to a coffee and a knickerbocker glory at the Harbour Bar opposite the West Pier.. it was open when I was a kid and I’m nearing 70 now. Nowhere like it!
Ha ha that sounds like the most wonderful place to take a look back to Scarborough - which is about as tropical as things can be in Yorkshire by my reckoning :)
It's a great town and I hope this video brought back some nice seaside memories for you - thank you so much for watching!
I've practically been a Scarborian since I was born. Although I moved from place to place as a toddler, Scarborough was, and still is, my childhood home.
One note about that big wheel. There used to be the famous Futurist Theatre. It started off as Scarborough's first cinema, then it became a theatre that happened to sometimes show films. Many famous bands performed there, especially the Beatles in 1963 when Beatlemania hit Britain.
It shut in 2013 due to business being unsustainable. And it got demolished in 2017 despite residential protests. And whilst there are plans for a Flamingoland extention, the Ferris Wheel is a temporary placement.
Good video. Keep it up.
Wow! That's so fascinating to hear - I didn't manage to pick any of that up in my research of Scarborough, so thank you very much for pointing it all out :) It's interesting to see how the town - a bastion of a classic seaside resort - has still continued to change over the years!
Thank you so much for watching and for your very insightful comment - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
North Yorkshire is da best Yorkshire.
Ooooh a controversial statement there - but one that's not easy to disagree with! There's so many things to see and discover across all of Yorkshire, but North Yorkshire really does take the cake with its stunning range of sights, from gorgeous seaside towns like Scarborough to the miles and miles of splendid countryside :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Takes me back to my child hood . Thanks for the trip
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories :)
First of all, thank you, thank you for doing this. It is/was grand. My only "small" advice is this: instead of all the written information at the bottom of the screen, you should narrate it instead. I was reading so much, but then I was feeling I was missing out on some of the video parts. Again, great job.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - and thank you very much for the suggestion on narration :) I do like to make these walks as immersive as possible, with all of the natural sounds instead of my squeaky voice getting in the way, but I can certainly look towards narrating some walks in the future, or even ones like this as a kind of redux :)
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words - it really means a lot to hear!
It's absolutely perfect as it is 🤗
i disagree about making a "narrative report" on the walks. i prefer to read the 1-2 lines (only) .. after all... the guy is only walking, so gives you plenty of time to read and still not miss out on him walking past one house or shop. and if thats the case.. theres always the PAUSE button.

Appreciate your lovely walk ..... Thanks 👍 for taking us around Scarborough..And especially on a dry sunny day... Couldn't be better....And I saw on your comments you did a Let's Walk on Hadrian's wall.... That would be very watchable.... Good health to you....
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a magnificent town and certainly looks wonderful on a sunny, sunny day like this :)
I do have a Hadrian's Wall walk in the locker - it's really quite long so I'm looking for a way to cut it down with some 'highlights' for you to see - stay tuned for it!
I lived and worked in Scarborough 3 summers. Great video, I learned a lot. Very professionally done.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a fascinating and gorgeous place (particularly in the summer), and there's a lot of history to be discovered there too when not relaxing by the beach :)
@@LetsWalkUK For a student holiday job I worked 10am-10.30pm 6 days a week (South foreshore Bingo), not much time for exploring or beach!
One of the best videos I have seen on Scarborough, great stuff.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - it really means a lot to hear :) And Scarborough is such a fascinating place, there's just so much to discover!
Wow! that has to be one of the best virtual walking tours ever! It transported me back fifty years, to when my family of four visited, my now fifty three year old daughter was just three, She came back last week for a visit with her husband, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the splendid weather, they took me on a short walk about on iPad camera, I was overwhelmed at the scenery that greeted me, and slightly tearful as there was just one person missing, my devoted life time partner of sixty years! The history of Scarborough is truly amazing as your fantastic and clear commentary depicted, words can’t describe how I truly feel, pleased to hear ‘Peasholm’ Park is still there, my Son who was six was beside himself at the re-enactment of the battle ships at war firing at each other! thank you 🙏 so much for sharing your obvious videography skills with us, p.s. you have some very Large & Noisy Seagulls in Scarborough, the sound of the Seaside (Perfect) I can almost smell the Iconic Fish & Chips 🍟👌
That's so lovely to hear! I'm so glad that this video brought back some nice memories of Scarborough for you, and I'm delighted that you've had the chance to see it as it is today, I hope it hasn't changed too much since 50 years ago :)
As you say, the history of Scarborough is absolutely incredible, and far more extensive than anything I could fit into this one video - do look further into it, there are fascinating things to discover! Of course, the town would be nothing without those iconic fish & chips and those noisy seagulls, even though the two aren't always a match made in heaven!
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you for your very nice reply, Scarborough was much the same as I remembered it, some aspects have faded from my memory over time, I remember the main features, and cliff railway, and the long uphill walk to the Castle! which my Daughter did last week, in all it was a perfect walking tour, and I learned considerably more than I originally did, I shall look forward to more of your tours in the near future, thank you again for a trip back in time 👌😊👋
Hello Bernice. I followed your footsteps. It was an absolutely beautiful walk through Scarborough. I learned so much about this gorgeous city and its history. I can well imagine how you sat on the beach with your wonderful family.
Yes Galway, it was a lovely experience reliving those wonderful carefree days, gone all too soon, I thought you would enjoy the tour, I know you love towns and places with lots of history to them! Just changing the subject I am still smiling at my last conversation with you, did you ever watch ‘I Love Lucy’😂
@@bernicebest To be honest, I still laugh when I picture the look on your face when you saw Alan dance. I didn't know "I love Lucy" before, but I've just seen a couple of episodes. Your precarious situation would have been a good episode....🤣😆
This is beautiful, I spent every holiday in Scarborough as a child. Eventually I lived there for 3 years whilst a student training to be a teacher, it was really nostalgic and my husband and I plan to return. Thankyou so much 👏👏
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It's so wonderful that you had the chance to live and work in the home of your childhood holidays for a few years, that must have been very nostalgic indeed :)
So, so pleased to see one of the best holiday destinations anywhere in the UK! Had many a happy family holiday here throughout the 60s/70s, though never in either of the two majestic hotels featured here, sadly. We always stayed in a B&B, creaky beds with candlewick bedspreads and definitely no en suite, lol. Usually crabby, waspish landladies who sighed and tutted any time any of the kids spoke above a whisper, hahaha. Luna Park was a 'must visit' for us, and the natural lido which was absolutely perishing even at the height of Summer! A week was never long enough to see the town. I could smell the ozone and the odours of various cafes and chippies as you took us on yet another magnificent walk. And I would not have wanted to be a pall bearer at Miss Bronte's funeral, not with that climb!
Scarborough really is one of the very best places to have a nice day by the seaside in the UK, perhaps even Europe! Most of us have never been lucky enough to stay in the town's biggest hotels, but it's the good, honest B&Bs around Scarborough that make the town what it is :) And as you say, a week is certainly never enough to see the whole town, let alone this 40-odd minute walkthrough - even up and down those hills, which must have been tiring for people for so many years!
Thank you so much for watching as always and for your wonderful comment - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
A different way to see this beautiful place , with all the legends , but a gret video anyway ! Thanks !
Thank you very much! There's so much history in Scarborough, and it's a place with new things to discover no matter how many times you've visited :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
For taking the time to educate us and for touring Scarborough on foot, a BIG thank you!! I absolutely loved it!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - I had a wonderful time walking around Scarborough and discovering its history - though I must say I did put my feet up for quite a while after this walk :)
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
That was brilliant. So interesting.
Loved it! Like to have seen Peasholm park and valley gardens too.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - it really means a lot to me :) I'm sorry I didn't manage to fit Peasholm Park and the Valley Gardens in - maybe I should make separate videos on the views of the North Bay and towards the Spa too, I'll put it on my list for future consideration :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Another great and informative walk, it's lovely for the less able such as myself to get out and about, and in good weather, so thanks.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a magnificent town and it always looks wonderful under those blue skies :)
fantastic. the best video of scarborough i have seen, also the text. great thankyou.
Scarborough was last holiday me and the hubby had in 2019 before covid hit, we stayed on the North Bay... Woke up to sea views every morning, heard a live concert from the band "Years and Years" at the open air theatre from our hotel room, went on the dragon boats at peasholme Park, walked miles and finished off at The Harbour Bar for delicious ice-cream. Plus got sunburnt cos the weather was Absolutely boiling!! 🍨🌞 And its only an hour and a half drive from our home town. 👍
You're very lucky to have Scarborough within such close reach! It's such a wonderful place as I'm sure you know - and that little holiday a couple of years ago really sounds delightful, and a bit of sunburn is always the mark of a trip well enjoyed :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Great tour, thanks. 😀
I went to Scarborough when i was 23. years old. With a friend. We met 2 girls there from scotland. And. we all had a fantastic time. I would love to go back some day. Thank you for the Tour of the Seafront & Town. I enjoyed it very much. Thank You... Yours Cliff
Wonderful to hear - I'm sure you have some brilliant memories of Scarborough, and I hope you get the chance to go back in the future to make more :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
When we visited we didn't get to see the castle or town so this was nice to watch
Thank you so much! As many people have pointed out there are so many different ways to visit Scarborough, with endless things to do and discover in many different parts of the town :) I'm sure you had a wonderful time when you visited, but I'm delighted you got to see a little bit more of Scarborough through this video!
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Scarborough is such a spectacular and fascinating place, with centuries and centuries of history that make it an utter delight to visit with something new to discover on every different trip :)

Lovely resort in a beautiful part of Yorkshire....can't get much better than that
Absolutely! There are few places in the UK (if not Europe, or even the world) on Scarborough's level - it really is as spectacular as the seaside can get :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
What a beautiful place.
It really is! Especially when the sun is shining so wonderfully - there are few places quite like Scarborough :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for this - I am far away in British Columbia and fear I may never get to see dear Scarborough again! I like it that there's no narration and no music; it makes it more like actually being there. Cheers!
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories of Scarborough, and was almost like being there for you! Still, I hope you get the chance to hop over the pond once again and visit the glorious seaside of the Yorkshire coast :)

Many thanks for watching and for your kind words :)
Thank you so much for sharing.
And thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)

Really enjoyed thanks for sharing
Excellent
Been to Scarborough many a time when I was much younger
Haven’t been for over 35 years defo gonna go once I move up north
It really is the place of wonderful childhood memories by the sea - especially when the sun is shining on a day like this! I bet you'll have a great time when you make it back to Scarborough, things haven't changed all too much since you were last there I think :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for sharing this well made video. We are going there next week for the first time, a little anxious, this video make me feel like I've been there before.
Loved the video thanks. I must be getting old but can remember Luna park as Corrigans fun fair, with a Heyerdahl Skelter and a Paratrooper.
Thank you so much for showing us this walking series. I have watched your video about Edinburgh, Glasgow and this one. I really enjoy it and even forget to subscribe.😂
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos, especially some of the longer ones like Edinburgh, Glasgow and Scarborough! There are so many wonderful places to discover around the country, so do subscribe to stay tuned with the many places we'll be visiting in future :)
Nice video. The Italian gardens are also a nice walk further down on the south bay clifftop.
Thank you so much - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! The Italian Gardens are gorgeous indeed - with some stunning scenery too! I'm sorry I didn't manage to fit that into this walk - but I may return in the future to film more around Scarborough :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Glad to be there
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Scarborough is a gorgeous seaside town :)
My gran, plus my aunt and uncle all lived in Scarborough for over 30 years.
My family have so many happy memories of the long summer holidays we used to spend there.
One of the nicest places to live in the UK.
When my gran died, we scattered her ashes in the gardens near the cliffs.
Wow! It sounds like you have quite the connection with Scarborough - certainly a gorgeous place to live (especially on a sunny day!).
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad this video brought back some nice memories of Scarborough for you too :)
Awesome walk in the town of Scarborough. Your history lessons are always enjoyable. And your walks are always enjoyable also. Very beautiful and historical the medieval buildings are. Hope to see more soon. Have a great day 👍😀
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
My childhood holidays was at Scarborough in the famous park and the big water scene which isn’t there no more it’s lovely to be able to see it all again cannon and ball we saw at night in the theatre it’s a lovely place thankyou for showing a lovely place in my heart 💜
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some lovely memories of good old childhood holidays - Scarborough is one of those magical places that really holds a special place in so many people's hearts, and it's no wonder why :)
I was in this beautiful city in March 1989, as a guest of my Italian cousins. I have beautiful memories of both the city and the people. I hope to return one day. I knew some girls who worked in Angelo's restaurant. See you soon.
I've just found your channel tonight and I love wathing these walk arounds of places, having recently watched one in Scarbs. Your commentary is superb, all the history of the things that are sometimes hidden away, down the back streets and alley ways. Really enjoyed this, thanks for and keep on walking :)
thank you so much i so enjoyed your video x
And thank you so much for watching - it really means a lot to hear you enjoyed the video :)
I am relocating to Scarborough in the next couple of months and this video was so exciting to watch and see what my future holds in store! Thankyou
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video and that you're looking forward to your move to Scarborough - it's a magnificent town and certainly a gorgeous place to be on a summer's day, I wish you the best of luck there :)
Have many memories of Scarborough, and so nice to see this up-to-date view of it though my TV. Hope you can show some of the South Cliff too, and maybe Peasholm Park also. Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video - Scarborough hasn't changed too much over the centuries, but it's always interesting to see the little things that have come and gone over the last few years :)
I'm sorry I didn't manage to fit in the South Cliff and Peasholm Park - I might have to return to Scarborough soon to make some more videos, and that's something I can't say no to!
Your videos are just the right time duration and packed with loads of information.
Great Channel!
Just Subscribed.
Best Regards,
From Lincolnshire. 🏴
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos, there's so much information that I could mention about places like Scarborough, but it's nice to have a brief walk around like this where we cover the main sights and history :)
Many thanks for watching and for subscribing! It really means a lot!
lovely video thank you
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - it means a lot to hear :)
great stuff
Great video, glad you had nice weather. Been to Scarborough many a time as I live in Haworth but was born in Bradford (just like Ann Bronte, let's hope I don't die in Scarborough as well eh!) You can't beat the Yorkshire east coast, from Bridlington, Filey, Whitby, Staithes to Robin Hood's Bay and probably some I've missed, no one does the seaside like Yorkshire.
I'm very glad about the weather too - a blue sky makes Scarborough sparkle like nowhere else :) Interesting to hear of your parallels there with Miss Brontë - but indeed let's hope you don't have the same end to the story 😊 You're absolutely right though - there are few places in the UK quite as spectacular as the Yorkshire coast, and Scarborough is one of the many jewels in its crown!
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
quite astonishing moments while watching video even no comments on the north side of the castle's nearby. Thanks!!
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Great video. Many thanks. …..
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - Scarborough is a great place to walk about and discover some really spectacular history, especially when the sun is shining and the sea is glimmering like it was on this day :)
I love going to Scarborough! The walk from the North to the South Bay on a morning is so exhilarating! Will be back there in a few months time!
I'm absolutely with you there! Scarborough is a town full of spectacular places to visit, and the walks along the coast, between the bays, through Peasholm Park and more make it a place where there's always something new to discover :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoy your next trip to Scarborough!
Excellent tour of our very own Scarborough. The UK's finest and first UK's seaside resort! 🌅🌟✅ One little misprint. Eastborough around 10.53
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough really is the jewel in the crown of UK seaside resorts :)
Good eye for the mistype there too - I missed that out when checking over the video after editing, but I'm glad you got the meaning of the mysterious Eastbroough!
It seems to be a quiet and lovely town by the sea side.
Nice video 📹👍

Thank you so much! Scarborough really does sparkle in the sun and in 4K, so I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
At 7:43 , a great feature , an aerial postcard makes easier to understand the whole geography. Sincerely, BBC can not do it better than some youtubers.
Thank you so much! The geography of Scarborough is rather complex, and given how important the Headland is to its history, it's always good to have a good idea of what it looks like :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words as always - I'm not sure I can quite parallel the BBC, but I always do my best!
I for one thoroughly enjoyed your video it was fantastic, its lovely to see the sights in my armchair. I am to old to make those hills. So thank you for what you do. I have heard so much about Scarborough but have never seen it till now. You have done a wonderful job. 👏👏👍😁
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the walk - those hills up and down Scarborough are quite the challenge indeed, but I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing them and the rest of the town in all its glory :)
Thank you again for watching and for your very kind words!
Aww this is lovley my home town. I was gutted you walked past my little salon in the old town...and a van was in the way. Then you walked past again. Before you went down the hill to the joke shop and it was there. It looks nice on your film ty. Scarborough is awsome.. X. X.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a spectacular town and you're very lucky to call it your home :) I do always feel it's a bit of a shame when some shops are obscured by a car or van - though I'm glad you got to see your salon on the second walk back down the hill!
Thank you so much for watching and for your wonderful comment :)
Great job dear friend 👍💗
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a beautiful place :) Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Lovely to see this, one of my favourite places. I was there last week and did the same walk from the harbour, up the steps to the castle, past the church and down back to the joke shop…those steps up to the castle are quite a trek, unlike you I had to stop a couple of times to take a rest lol
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is one of my favourite places too! The walk is a really good one - I followed a similar path to the Old Town heritage trail, which is linked in the description - I can tell you though that I was thoroughly exhausted come the end, especially after that castle hike! Taking a few breathers along the way is certainly the way to go :)
Thank you so much for watching!
This is amazing! Very informative, much better than my video. Thank you for sharing 😍
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - your videos have a nice personal touch though, which is always wonderful to see - especially on a fun day out in Scarborough :)
amazing :)
I agree! It's an amazing place indeed :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Paradise is also the street (just by Anne Bronte’s grave) where my old school, the Maisie Graham Sea Training and Engineering School, was. I went there from aged 11 to 15 and very much enjoyed it. I’m now 86.
Wonderful to hear! I do hope that this video brought back some nice memories of those school days, I'm sure you had a great time - and it must have been amazing to be able to pop down to the beach after school too :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
I should never have left. miss it so much.
nice informative video thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - it means a lot to hear :)
@@LetsWalkUK welcome god bless
a first rate vidio thanks so much x
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is a first rate seaside town :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Interestingly, just down from the gravesite of Anne Brontë there is a plaque on the side of a building stating that John Wesley, founder of the Methodist church, preached 4 times in a chapel near that site. Love visiting this area through your video again. Thank you
Absolutely stunning video so very well made, thank you so much for taking the time to do this and share it here, many many fab memories from Scarborough and many more to come.
How long has the big wheel been on the seafront ?
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - your very kind words really do mean a lot to hear :) I'm also glad that the video brought back some nice memories of Scarborough - and I hope the ones to come in the future are just as great!
I'm sorry to say that my research didn't lead me to a specific date when the Big Wheel was put on the seafront, but if anybody else in the comments does know - don't hesitate to let me and Tony know :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you! I really enjoyed your video and have subscribed. 👏 I would love you to visit Norwich. Everything there from a Norman Castle, two cathedrals (one is Norman), one of the most complete streets of medieval houses in the UK, a market which has stood on the same site for over a thousand years, a Flintstone Guildhall, sites of rebellion, remains of a monastery, plus Tutor, Georgian, Queen Anne buildings. Spectacular new buildings as well!
Thank you so much! Do you know I've never actually been to Norwich - or almost all of Norfolk for that matter - but it seems to me like such a unique part of the country, full of spectacular heritage as you mention in the city alone! I'll certainly be making a trip to Norwich at some point in the near future to make a video - I can't wait :)
Thank you so much for watching and especially subscribing - I do hope you enjoyed this video!
Thanks for the upload. Scarborough has such a beautiful setting. Sadly the Grand Hotel is only really grand because of its size and location. Inside it’s very second rate, badly needs new ownership.
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - Scarborough certainly is a spectacular place, and the Grand Hotel too is a testament to its grandeur - though I've never had the chance to stay there, it certainly has quite the history to it :)
Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for a great video. I can't believe only 359 likes out of 17.5 k views!
I was last in Scarborough back in 1994. The company I worked for had just sold the Royal Opera House there, before it's demise.
My partner at the time ran a night club called Rosie's, a very popular haunt for youngsters with too much money to spend!
I got to see Scarborough in all four seasons and it was fantastic.
How wonderful! I must say I've never seen Scarborough in the winter - such the fair-weather traveller that I am :) Sounds like you had a wonderful time there back in the day - you're very lucky to have spent so much time in this spectacular seaside town!
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
the royal hotel got named winston churchill room with sea view and his stay all time in the same room so now any can stay in that room
I didn't know that! A fascinating bit of hidden history there - thank you very much for pointing that out :) Though I must say I wonder how much one would have to stretch their budget to stay in Churchill's room!
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
The Royal Hotel was owned by the Lawton family. A well-known Scarborough family and relatives of the film star Charles Lawton. The Grand Hotel is built in the style of a ‘calendar’ building.
Laughton family, they owned the Pavilion Hotel in town, demolished and replaced with a concrete monstrosity.
The Grand Hotel was built in the sign of a V for Victoria, 365 rooms, 12 floors, 4 turrets.
@@richardburns5925 Correct.
@@kategray9 sorry, I'm a Scarborough lad, I have to have me two penny's worth! 😜
@@richardburns5925 No problem, Richard!
Great videos! I recently discovered your channel (starting with Whitby). Although I don't now live in the UK, I get back fairly regularly as I still have family in Yorkshire. I grew up in Harrogate and have visited Whitby and Scarborough many times over the years, so these videos are very nostalgic. I now realise there's a lot of Scarborough I've missed over the years! Like another person has already commented, where's Peasholm Park?! ... I assume it still exists though I suspect it's probably changed somewhat from my day.
The subtitles are excellent - very informative and easy to read (and I like the semi-transparent background). What camera etc.do you use for these videos and what software do you use for editing, for the sub-titles etc. I wish I could do something even half as good.....
Working my way through your videos and look forward to continuing new ones - keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this video - Scarborough is one of the most picturesque places in all of Yorkshire, and that really is an impressive claim to fame! I'm sorry I couldn't quite fit in Peasholm Park into this video - but rest assured that it is still there :)
Thank you very much for your kind comments on the video style too - it really means a lot to hear! I use a very basic version of Adobe Premiere called Premiere Elements - which is much more affordable and easy to use - and that covers all my needs for subtitling and occasionally sorting out the sound. I film with a GoPro Hero8 Black - it's all a fairly simple setup as I'm not much of techy person, so you could certainly do something like this!
Thank you once again for watching and for your lovely comments - I hope you enjoy the next videos you see :)
My husband I went to Filey staying at a guesthouse in the 90s and we went to visit Scarborough promenade and peashome park for the day
It must have a lovely day out! I hope the sun was shining too - Scarborough's Promenade and Peasholm Park are both absolutely wonderful under those blue skies :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
These videos are excellent, you’ll have to do some in Wales, possibly start in Barry?
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos - I'll certainly do some in Wales - I have a few from the south coast in the locker to be uploaded soon, though Barry is one I'll have to add to the list when I'm next back in Wales! Stay tuned for it :)
Nice video. Just one thing to say and that is when you went up to the castle if you had stepped through the Arch you would have seen an Amazing view of the North Bay. It gives you more of the vast area it covers leading to the Cleveland walk. I'm sure you must have had your reasons but I would have come from the spa on the south bay to peaceholm Park.
Been a few times lovely place i always wanted to try and find more about my fathers mothers side my gran . But still havant also my Irish side i hope time will allow me too one day.. God willing ..
It's a lovely place indeed! I'm sure you have some great memories from past visits to Scarborough - and I do hope you get the chance to visit again in the not too distant future :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for sharing. The northbay holds my child hood memories. Cable car, chalets, miniature railway, cricket and peasholm Park. Life was beautiful in the 80s.
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories, I think Scarborough really is one of those magical places that's impossible to forget :)
Growing up in the north east of England I had many fond memories of Scarbrough. I have lived for the last 45 years in Switzerland. Unfortunately when on Holiday with my Grandchildren in Scarbrough I was called a *F* foreigner because I spoke a German to my Grandchildren. That was my last memory of Scarbrough!
I'm sorry to hear that, it's not typical of this area, Yorkshire people are very nice people,
@@tonyharris230 Unfortunately I am not alone In my views of the anti European
racism the British friends of mien
living in Switzerland have had similar experiences
There will always be racists. However much we progress we can't stamp it out.
Keep watching your videos now,
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!😊

Ha ha thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say - and it really makes my day to hear that :) Scarborough is an absolutely wonderful town, and without doubt one of Britain's greatest seaside resorts!
Thank you very much for watching and for your wonderful comments, I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos!
Great video, Scarborough, my favourite place. A shame you didnt show the North Bay
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Scarborough is certainly one of my favourite places too :)
My apologies for not showing the North Bay here - I should indeed make a separate video showcasing the sights of the North Bay, it was just a bit too long of a walk for me on this day!
Thank you so much for watching!
