Scarborough, Seaside resort town in North Yorkshire, England.
The town extends along two bays divided by a headland, featuring a medieval castle, sandy beaches, and a fishing harbor.
The settlement originated as a Viking community in 966 AD, when Thorgils Skarthi established a fortified position on the North Sea coast.
The Scarborough Fair, a major medieval trading festival lasting six weeks, attracted merchants from across Europe between 1253 and the 18th century.
The North Bay and South Bay areas offer different experiences, with South Bay containing the main tourist facilities and original medieval settlement.
The Grand Hotel, built in 1867, incorporates time-based architecture with four towers for seasons and originally contained 365 bedrooms for days.
