What is Scarborough like?

[cuetip]

Been getting itchy feet the last few months and considering it might be time to move on again.

Seen a job thats my line of work going in scarborough, but i've never even visited the place.

So anyone out there tell me what's the place like and is it good living there?

Run down holiday resort on NE coast. Cold, wet, windy, grey and empty in winter.

Cold, wet, windy and crowded in summer.

Good fish n chips, cheap shops, cheap pubs.


I love it.

I love Scarborough. Its my favourite place for a holiday in this country and the surrounding places such as Whitby and Robin Hoods bay are gorgeous. I wish i had the chance to move there thats for sure! Go for it! oh, and i just love the northeners!

A lovely place, I'd give anything to be able to live there.!!!

I hate to say it but you would have to pay me to live there - Im going to be hated here now lol. I just couldn't live there, but every one likes different things. Be a boring world if we didn't.

Have had many wonderful holidays in Scarborough. As unrulie says there are so many places around there to visit. Great Fish&Chips, lovely friendly people, beautiful coastline - endless golden sand, Peashome Park..................

We were going to move there in '94, but plans change...

Love it - we are a couple of hours away and it is always worth the trip. I have just won a trip 1st class from York to Scarboro next week on a steam train.& I can't wait

The town is the arcades and fish and chips - which is good if that is what you want - North Bay is lovely
Take Greedyfly's advice - go and give it a try before you commit - Good Luck - let's know how you go on

[wonder years]

hey granny grump were you from wondering if your near me

I would move to Scarborough tomorrow! I love it. Its such a great place! Not tacky and smelly like Skegness, shops are lovely,nice Cafe's, nice bars. Couldn't tell you about living there, but i can defo recommend it. Why not visit for a few days and see what you think. You won't be disappointed. Let us know how you get on!x

Love the place. I'm off to Robin Hoods Bay for two weeks on Friday and will be visiting Scarborough regularly during my stay.
Would move here like a shot. Like all other places there are good and bad areas to live. These you would be able to determin for yourself by driving around the area. The local transport is good and there is an hourly train service to York.
The coast, Moors and Dales are all to hand - what more could you want?
