Was curious to learn more on the funicular in Scarborough. Interesting that they are parked overnight side by side.

Hawes has the Countryside Museum at the old station, which is worth a visit. open 10-5 every day

We stop off in Hawes occasionally on the way to Leyburn( lovely market town) Great chippy, some good little walks, interesting architecture and a decent couple of pubs.

For my money, Whitby beats Scarborough. I'll take climbing the 199 steps over riding the funicular. And there are some work-arounds for those who are less mobile. The tour bus starts from down in the town and drives up to the Abbey...

I went last week !!! The town centre is like any other , the South Bay beach is well Yorkshire's answer to mini Blackpool ,big wheel ,slot machines didn't see any kiss me quick hats , plenty of families on the beach . My view was...
