Best Museums in Scarborough

"The museum is run by the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society and is a paradise for history buffs.

The Pannett Art Gallery has a permanent display of some of the 20"

"Run by the Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society, the museum, library and achives houses many major collections including archaeology, social history, ceramics, Captain James Cook, fossils, paintings, photographs, militaria and toys & dolls."

"Just beside Sewerby Hall and Gardens at the top of the Sewerby Cliffs is a quintessential English seaside attraction. Opening every summer since 1987, Bondville Model Village has swelled to more than 200 buildings and is found in acres of pristine gardens ringed by trees. Every model has been hand-crafted to a 1:12 scale, and what’s unusual about this village is that model train also conforms to that scale."

"Another of our recommendations of what to do in Bridlington is to visit Bondville. Bondville Model Village is found just over halfway along the north cliff walk. Feel like a giant walking around all the houses, churches and shops in this pretty attraction."

"The second of Bridlington’s Grade I-listed buildings along with the Priory Church, the Bayle Gate is what’s left of the priory’s fortifications. Since the priory was dissolved the Bayle has been a gaol, garrison, court and town hall. Composed of a mix of brick and limestone, most of the Bayle is from the second half of the 12th century, with two pointed Gothic arches under traceried windows."

"Bridlington Bayle Museum is a historical museum located in the old town. This museum is dedicated to the history of the town, its inhabitants and the surrounding areas. It houses a collection of social history items such as photographs, documents, paintings and prints."

"In 2018, a full-size replica of Captain Cook’s HM Bark Endeavour became a permanent fixture in Whitby harbour and opened to the public as a visitor attraction. On board, 11 cabins have been transformed into a..."

"Peasholm Park located just inland from North Bay is the resort’s beautifully restored historic park which first opened as a pleasure fun park in June 1912. The perfect blend of heritage gardens and fun family attractions, the park has a central island with gardens and surrounding boating lake at its heart. On-site attractions include a Tree Trail, Lily Pond and Oriental style gardens."

"Just behind the North Bay is the fanciful Peasholm Park, designed in an Oriental style in 1912. At that time the park was Scarborough’s venue of choice for extravagant galas and exhibitions, but its glory faded as the century wore on. The park closed in 1999 after its pagoda was damaged by arson, but reopened in the 2000s and is now a treasured part of the resort."

"Sealife Sanctuary at North Bay has long been a family favourite attraction housed within three distinct triangular buildings on the resort’s main headland and featuring a mix of indoor and outdoor marine exhibits. See seals, penguins, otters and more and this hands-on interactive underwater world. There’s plenty of opportunity for rock pooling and a host of year round children’s activities and events."

"This picture perfect early-Georgian house dates mostly from 1714 and is in 50 acres of manicured gardens. The interior has been restored to itsEdwardian appearance at the start of the 20th century and has a room dedicated to Amy Johnson, the pioneer aviator who officially opened the house to the public in 1936. Tours are given on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11:30 all through the summer."

"One of our favourite attractions can be found right at the north end of the town. Take the dotto train to its north terminus or walk the scenic north cliffs to find a gorgeous stately home and gardens. Sewerby Hall has been restored back to its Edwardian glory."

"There's no seating inside (it's based in the old Spa Ticket Office) but providing the weather's not absolutely awful you're guaranteed a great view out across the piers and towards Sandsend."
