The clifftops north of Scarborough are such a stunning location for a walk. This is a particularly special spot that invites you to pause and fully appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds you.

From Scalby Ness headland, you have sweeping views of the expansive North Bay Beach leading up to the impressive Castle Cliff, home to Scarborough Castle. You'll also see the town of Scarborough itself and Oliver's Mount rising above it to the east.

Truly spectacular views, in particular towards the south along the coast. Some of the best that the Yorkshire coastline has to offer. Incredibly dramatic!
