Scarborough (Regno Unito) / Regno Unito

Scarborough è una città e località turistica inglese della contea del North Yorkshire. La città, che conta circa 50.000 abitanti, è la principale località turistica della costa dello Yorkshire. Oltre ad essere una meta del turismo locale , è un'ambita residenza invernale. Rilevanza economica riveste la pesca, ma è anche sede di attività industriali, di società del settore terziario e di attività creative. La città moderna si trova sulle alture rocciose che sovrastano le due baie North Bay e South Bay, tra i 30 e i 70 metri sul livello del mare. La città vecchia si affaccia sul porto, protetta da un promontorio roccioso. La spiaggia South Bay è quella turisticamente più frequentata e sulla strada che la costeggia si affacciano locali caratteristici, sale giochi e shopping center. La North Bay è per tradizione la zona tranquilla della città. Vi ha sede il Peasholm Park, in cui per tutta l'estate va in scena una battaglia navale, con modelli di navi di grande scala e fuochi artificiali. Dal parco parte la North Bay Railway, una ferrovia in miniatura che conduce all'Acquario Marino di Scalby Mills. Al di sopra delle due baie si stagliano le rovine del castello, risalente al XII secolo.
