Scarborough Seafront Circular Walk
Difficulty Rating:
The Scarborough Seafront Circular Walk is a wonderfully scenic walking route just on the edge of North York Moors National Park that features historical sites and beautiful views of the water. While out on the trail, you will walk through the seaside areas of Scarborough and take in amazing views of the 12th Century hilltop castle before walking along North Bay Beach and cutting back across the city. Due to its location this walk will naturally be a bit busier, so make sure to keep an eye on children and dogs while you are out walking.
