About Scarborough
- Scarborough is widely regarded as England's first seaside resort, with visitors coming to take the waters from the mineral springs discovered in the 1620s. The town developed rapidly as a fashionable resort in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the grand hotels and spa buildings of the Victorian era still dominate the seafront.
- Scarborough Castle, managed by English Heritage, occupies a dramatic headland between the North Bay and South Bay. The castle was built in the 12th century and was one of the most important royal fortresses in the north of England. The ruins include the keep, the barbican, and the curtain wall, and the views from the headland over both bays are outstanding.
- The Scarborough Spa, a complex of entertainment venues on the South Bay seafront, has been a centre of entertainment since the 18th century. The current buildings, dating from the 1870s and 1880s, include a concert hall, a ballroom, and a theatre, and the Spa hosts a programme of concerts and events throughout the year.
- Anne Brontë, the youngest of the Brontë sisters, died in Scarborough in 1849 and is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's Church on the castle headland. The town has strong literary connections, and the Brontë connection is one of the most celebrated aspects of Scarborough's cultural heritage.
