Scarborough Castle
Perched atop dramatic cliffs, Scarborough Castle offers breathtaking sea views and a journey through 3,000 years of history. Known for its vibrant events, from medieval reenactments to outdoor concerts, it promises an unforgettable experience blending history, nature, and culture.
About
With over 2,500 years of turbulent history behind it, Scarborough Castle defends a prominent headland between two bays, with sheer drops to the sea. Before the castle was built, this natural fortress was favoured by prehistoric settlers before serving as a Roman signal station and Viking haven. This spectacular castle has also endured sieges from medieval kings and Civil War armies, and German naval bombardment during WWII. Now you can climb to the battlement viewing platforms for dramatic coastline views, and take tea in the 18th-century
Master Gunner's House.
