Your special Scarborough memories
We visited Scarborough in 2008 and had tea at the Francis Tea Rooms on South Street. My daughter lived above the tea room while studying in Scarborough that year. What a great place--the sands, the spa, the sea, the castle, St. Mary's church, the Esplanade, the gardens, fine dining, friendly pubs, the harbor, the Cleveland Way, the North Yorkshire Moors, the salt air, the cry of the gulls--I could go on and on about how wonderful it was. I look forward to when we can return!

We'd never been to Scarborough and one new year's day (1994 I think) we drove here on a whim.
As we drove under Spa Bridge the police closed the road behind us. As we drove along the front we realised why .. the sea was so high it was flooding into Corrigans.
We parked on Eastborough and came back to watch the sea move parked cars into the middle of the road.
It was then, stood with a community watching this chance event, we fell in love with Scarborough. Not very long after, we moved here.

Walking round Marine Drive through thick fog at night. It was so eerie. I couldn't see more than two metres and it was silent apart from a few restless gulls and the sea making thick 'gloop' sounds - and the occasional moan of the fog horn.

After doing my cycling proficiency at nine years old I headed straight down to the beach because I could! .. I live here :)

Getting lost wandering around town (the sea seems to be on all sides), finding the back of the Talbot (now council offices) and being given free (out of date) peanuts and realising that 'we could live here'.

Why, staying at your lovely hotel of course! The sea, the magical castle, the history round every corner. It's easy to imagine all the characters that passed through there years ago. No other seaside place feels quite the same, summer or winter.
