Scarborough, Coastal resort town in North Yorkshire, England

Two distinct bays divide Scarborough, with North Bay offering calmer beaches and South Bay containing the primary entertainment and shopping districts.

Viking raider Thorgils Skarthi established the settlement in 966 AD, leading to the construction of a prominent castle during the 12th century.

The Stephen Joseph Theatre presents numerous productions throughout the year, including premieres of plays by resident playwright Alan Ayckbourn.

The town center connects to both bays through a network of well-maintained paths, with regular bus services operating between main attractions.

The Grand Hotel, constructed in 1867, held the title of Europe's largest brick structure and features a design representing days, weeks, and seasons.
