    Getting TO/AROUND: There are frequent trains from for instance Liverpool via York and from Hull. Just bear in mind on your return that in Scarborough, you queue to get on the trains so be there in advance if you travel on a busy day or risk getting no seat.

    If you want a cheaper fare, buses are fairly frequent. In York the Yorkshire Coastliner runs from the railway station via Malton to Scarborough. In Hull buses run from the coach station and in Whitby from the railway station via Robin Hood's Bay.

    Getting TO/AROUND: When those cliffs become to much for you, have a go at a funicular tram up the cliff. This is the Central tram which starts from just next to the Grand Hotel and takes you to the shopping area above the beach, close to the railway station. There is also the St Nicholas and the South Cliff one by the spa.

     You should have gone on the small speed boat that goes around the harbour, may not have had as many laughs though>>>>
