Scarborough Castle
Great castle and views!The castle is mostly in ruins now however there is still plenty to explore. There is a great exhibition inside about the history of the castle and some interesting artifacts that have been found on the site over the years, as well as stories about how the castle fared in WW2.The coastal walk around the castle is lovely, the views are absolutely breathtaking.The staff are friendly and knowledgeable too.

A beautiful piece of national heritage and history. Great to learn about the huge number of changes the British isles have seen over the years with such huge changes in its population and cultures. A fascinating mix, and a very beautiful place to learn. My children both loved it! Aged 6 and 8, both interested in the quizzes and reading in the little museum, fascinated by the stories of the bombings, invasions,… and trying to visualize the town and castle back when it was whole. Could have more visualizations to help support deeper understanding.

Bought tickets online, in advance, as we were able to save £2 per adult on the admission price. We spent well over 2 hours here, so was value for money. Would recommend the audio guide and we joined in on a great tour with Sue, the guide on the day, she was very knowledgeable and engaging. There are great views of the coast from here, we really enjoyed our visit to the castle.

Kudos to the staff, they were all absolutely lovely.I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised and spent nearly 2 hours wandering the castle grounds. I was also lucky enough to catch a funny, little play in the exhibition space.Perhaps it was due to rather wet weather but it wasn't very busy for a Saturday.The castle itself is open until 5pm, but that day the cafe van closed at 4 and the toilets at 4:30.

We had a lovely day visiting the Castle. We have been to Scarborough loads of times but this is our fist time visiting the Castle. It's a beautiful site with some spectacular views of Scarborough. Would definitely recommend visiting if you are in Scarborough. We will definitely be visiting again.

Fascinating castle on an historic headland.We joined the guided tour to enhance our visit but sadly left it due to the fact the guide though probably very interesting (as the assistant in the reception had said ) was talking away whilst walking ahead so only those at the front, or those who could keep up could hear.Decided to use audio guides instead and go at our own pace. These were very good and gave detailed descriptions of the various sites . Views from the observation tower and keep are fabulous.A good visit. Worth seeing.

A very amazing castle to visit, amazing cliff top views! I would recommend it to anyone and I suggest becoming English Heritage members first as there are many other great sites in Yorkshire!

Perfect for a family day out. Even though the castle is in ruins, you can see how it’s been built up over the years if different ownership. There is a small museum on the property where you can sit inside and enjoy the cafe’s offerings. They also have a bottle warmer, microwave and baby changing facilities.If you don’t have a parking disk, you can pay to park at the church down the road. Great views of the coast and most of the grounds are accessible if you have a pram.Don’t forget to buy your tickets online as they’re cheaper than buying them in person. Child friendly and dog friendly.
