you desire or Wensleydale cheese, Whitby rock or Knickerbocker Glories,
the definitive list is here.
On your way down from Whitby's 199
steps and into town, stop off at the kipper smokery and the rock
shop on Church Street
Visit Betty's in Harrogate for cream tea,
followed by a dip in the Victorian Turkish baths (don't forget your
cossie, towel and flip flops!)

Enjoy a Knickerbocker Glory in the Harbour
Bar on Scarborough's seafront. With its neon-edged ice cream cones,
mirror-lined walls, high stools for sitting at the long counter,
and extravagant ice creams in fancy glass vases, this milk bar has
been almost unaltered since it opened in 1945.

| Wensleydale cheese |
If you can cope with the fishy smell,
visit the fish market on Scarborough's fish pier (opposite the Harbour
Bar) where you can buy fresh fish straight out of the North Sea.
Or if you can't stand the smell but still can't resist a crabstick,
buy a tub of them from the fish stalls nearby
Relax in style on a nice day in Scarborough; sail around Peasholm
Park on a giant swan, travel on the miniature steam railway, have
some candyfloss or an ice cream, and cool off with a dip in the
pool at Atlantis
Or at Scarborough's South Bay, hire a chalet
for a few days, play in the rockpools, listen to a concert while
sitting in a deckchair in the Spa Sun Court, and travel up the perpendicular
railway to the Esplanade where you can wander in the Italian Gardens.

puddings. The Greedy
Pig will help you find a good place!

Turkish Baths |
There
are just three remaining 19th-century Turkish Baths in England,
but Harrogate's are the most beautiful and complete.
Only one per cent of the
original rare and colourful Arabic tiles had to be replaced
for the baths' re-opening in 2004, and the original elaborate
arched roofs and oak and mahogany changing rooms evoke Victorian
luxury |
