subject: The Childhood Memories Of Scarborough [print this page] For many people who live in the area of North Yorkshire, childhood holidays were very often spent by the coast in the wonderful seaside resort town of Scarborough. Whether you spent a week in a caravan or a long weekend in a one of the many Scarborough hotels that line the streets of the town, fond memories were almost always had and because of this reason, many people tend to go back to Scarborough for a break when they are older.
Situated on the North Sea coast of the North Yorkshire county, the actual population of Scarborough is only fifty thousand people, but this sees a massive surge throughout the summer months when, particularly in the height of summer, it can be difficult find a room in any of the Scarborough hotels, bed and breakfasts or caravan parks.
Of the people who visited Scarborough when they were younger, one of the fondest memories that they posses is simply the smells that the town offers. Fish and chip shops are available on most streets, frying fish that was caught by local fishermen that morning. Cockles, winkles and mussels can be smelt in the air all along the seafront, as the fish stalls offer a vast range of different seafood to the visitors to the town. Furthermore, the sweet smell of candy floss and Scarborough rock make up some of the most prominent smells that bring the memories flooding back.
Getting to Scarborough for those people who have visited previously is not a problem, as the route is practically imprinted on their minds. However, for people who have not been before, Scarborough is connected to both the Yorkshire Coast Line and North TransPennine route, offering direct rail services from London, Manchester, Leeds and York. In addition, Scarborough is also served by many major roads, including the A64 which offers a link to the A1(M), the A165 which allows for travel along the coast south, right down to Hull and the A170 and A171 which offer links to the North Yorkshire Moors to the west and Middlesbrough to the north respectively.
Scarborough remains largely unchanged structurally and a large amount of the buildings that were populated and serving tourists fifty years ago are still in use and providing the same service today. However, the town has changed dramatically in other respects and has transformed itself in recent years from a popular seaside resort in North Yorkshire to a town that many people throughout Europe are now aware of. This has come about by Scarborough being award the most enterprising British town in 2008 and in 2009 it received the award for being home to the most creative and inspiring entrepreneurship initiative in the whole of Europe.
A visit to Scarborough can be as long or as short as you wish. The Scarborough hotels are plentiful and can accommodate you comfortably for any length of stay. Therefore, whether it is a week holiday to bring back childhood memories or a weekend break to a much loved seaside resort for the first time, a visit to Scarborough is highly recommended.
