Scarborough UK: Scarborough Castle - Ruins
|
||
Ruins of earlier settlements at Scarborough Castle - plus you can take a walk to almost the edge of the peninsula for great views of the Coast. Perched high up on the headland above the North Sea, Scarborough Castle occupies one of the most dramatic castle sites in England and boasts over 2,500 years of turbulent history. Even before the castle was built, this natural fortress was favoured by prehistoric settlers before serving as a Roman signal station and then a Viking haven. Scarborough Castle has endured sieges from medieval kings and Civil War armies, and even German naval bombardment during WWII. Now you can climb to the battlement viewing platforms for dramatic coastline views, and take refreshments in the 18th-century Master Gunner's House. When we visited in Summer 2009 admission was 4.50 for Adults and 2.30 for children (11.30 GBP for a 'Family Ticket". The Castle is operated by English Heritage. Open 7 days a week through the Summer.
