Scarborough fishing harbour and funfair, from the castle promontory. |
Have I mentioned the stunning differences in water level caused by the tide? It´s amazing. |
Restaurants and tearooms, sweet shops (the fudge is amazing!), souvenirs, amusement arcades. That´s what the English want on vacation and they are right. |
You could buy shellfish dishes in stalls, but we never tried those. |
The Town Hall. |
I have heard a lot about donkey sanctuaries, and this seems to be a donkey´s working life: carrying children back and forth on beaches all across the UK. |
The Spa on the left. |
The Cleveland Way. |
We took a lunch at the Spa - fish&chips, of course. |
An organist playing old hits at the bandstand. |
The Grand Hotel. We just had to take a peek inside. It was once an elegant place to vacation. |
The Rotunda Museum, with geological displays. |
The Valley Road, going south. |
It looks impressive from outside. |
Less so inside. |
Honestly, a bit of a hygiene and health issue there, I´d say. |
But you can really imagine... |
... what it was like, once,... |
...in Queen Victoria´s day. |
