Scarborough, the first holiday resort in Britain, is steeped in history. The dramatic 12th-century castle conceals over 2,500 years of turbulent history. A selection of specialised museums and galleries provides an insight into the lives of Scarborough's earliest settlers. Collections of local art, fossils and wildlife combine with historical displays to explore Scarborough's past as it grew from a prehistoric burial site to a fishing port and then to a Victorian Spa.
