Scarborough

We had decided to drive to Scarborough and spend Wednesday night there, as it is a place we had not visited before.  Unfortunately, it was foggy!  We had a gorgeous little B&B right on the North Beach, and our room overlooking the sea.  We ate our packed lunch courtesy of the other hotel, and then took a walk over the castle and towards the harbour and South Beach.

The south beach is a little more brash with amusement arcades, and gift shops:

It was low tide and despite the fog, there were plenty of people on the sands:

Here’s Freddy – one of the donkeys available to ride.  We asked if we could photograph the donkeys, and when one little girl came up for a ride, she was told that Freddy was busy having a photo-shoot!
