Day 3 Scarborough & fish ‘n’ chips on the North Bay Railway
This morning, we visit the Yorkshire Coast’s impressive town of Scarborough with free time to explore its bustling streets lined with shops, eateries, museums and galleries. Relive history and hop on the Victorian Central Tramway funicular, which links the town centre with South Bay and its harbour and promenade.

Today we head to Pocklington for a visit to Burnby Hall Gardens often referred to as “a jewel in Yorkshire’s crown”, home to a national collection of over 80 water lilies, across both upper and lower lakes. The walled garden project was completed here in 2022. We have time afterwards in Pocklington itself, a delightful town with two art galleries, an acclaimed arts centre and a host of independent shops. On our way back to our hotel, we stop off in Beverley for the afternoon. A traditional thriving town with a 13th century minster standing tall above the rooftops we find a bustling marketplace, boutique shops and historic pubs which are sure to make for a lovely afternoon.
