East Coast of England – 400 mile trip to Scarborough and Whitby

The journey to Scarborough was long, but the destination made it worth it. I had never been to Scarborough before and found myself pleasantly surprised with what I saw along the way. The first thing that caught my eye was Whitby Harbour. It is a small village in North Yorkshire County with a population of about 16,000 people.

About Scarborough

Scarborough is the largest town in Scarborough with a population of about 130,000 people. It is at the mouth of the River Esk and has been central to fishing since Roman times.

I rode my motorcycle up one of Scarborough’s hills to get an aerial view of the town with its streets surrounding it like a spider web. The ride back down wasn’t as enjoyable but I still had some nice sights along the way such as looking out at the open fields.

I stayed at a glamping farm about 15 miles out from Scarborough, and a 30-minute ride from Whitby bay. On the final day of my trip, I decided to follow the coast along and eventually start making my way to the City of York.
