Scalby is a village on the outskirts of Scarborough and on the road to Whitby. The village has a general store, a couple of popular pubs and you are just over the road from a lovely, friendly café, making it a good location for a meal or a social evening when staying on holiday. As well as a Methodist chapel, there is St Laurence’s Church, a Grade II listed building dating back to 1150AD. It was presented on that date by Eustace Fitz John and is the oldest recorded building in the village. There are tennis courts, a bowling green and playing fields for cricket and football. There is a regular bus service linking the village to Scarborough and Whitby. For the more energetic, take the Cinder Track either on foot or by bike, and enjoy the stunning coastal views along the way. Scalby is also on the route of the Tabular Hills Walk, which links Scarborough to the market town of Helmsley on the western side of the North York Moors National Park.

There are many activities and attractions in the area. Dalby Forest has world cup mountain bike trails, Go Ape tree adventure and nature walks. The RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs is worth a visit, and is home to thousands of sea birds nesting precariously on the cliff face. Keen birdwatchers can see kittiwakes, gannets and puffins, and offshore porpoises and grey seals can be spotted.

Scarborough is just a 10-minute drive away where you have the castle overlooking the wide sweeping beaches, and Peasholm Park with oriental gardens, an open air theatre and paddle boats. There is also the Alpamare waterpark and spa, where in an evening you can soak in the steaming pools outside while watching the stars.

Traditional seaside resorts can easily be reached including Whitby, famous for its fish and chips and cliff top abbey ruins. Also worth a visit are the quaint fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes and Runswick Bay. Further inland, the medieval city of York can be reached in around an hour, with its Roman city walls and towering minster. Why not take a nostalgic journey on a steam train through the North York Moors from Whitby to Pickering, calling at Goathland, made famous as Aidensfield in the TV series ‘Heartbeat’? Beach 2½ miles.
