This castle can be seen from any point on the north and south bay. It stands proudly like a beacon high above the cliff tops. The journey up to the castle can seem like an eternity as it is quite a walk and up hill.
When I first visted scarborough my daughter was in a buggy and the normal route to the castle was out as it was mainly steps and a steep climd.
However I did find an alternative route up the castle and this was much easier. On the way up you can see for miles and the view is just breathtaking.
Once there the enterance fee can be quite pricey but for the life in me I just can not remmeber the price. It is worth the price to get into this but for younger children it can be a bit boring.
My daughter was about 2 maybe 3 when we visited the castle and she felt like a queen exploring little nooks and crannies. There is an audio guide available for those that would like it but I think it is nicer just to wander around and take in those views.
Now also in the castle grounds there is a cafe that I would not recomend to any one. Its is very over priced so I would say take a drink with you. I bought something that looked and sounded nice but tasted like liquid ear wax.
The gift shop to the castle is very small and lets it down a lot. Saying this though there is some nice little nic nacs available and there is always something for you to remember you trip to the castle.
Its is worth vising if you like the history of this sort of thing.
