If literature is for you, why not visit Anne Bronte grave at St Mary's Church. Scarborough was the final resting place for this young Victorian acclaimed writer.

The young ones need to be kept busy, so why not take them to the Luna Park Funfair to let their hair down. Scarborough is also home to the sea life and marine sanctuary, let the children see sea creatures they have never seen before and the seals that the sanctuary nurses back to health.

Take a terrifying trip to the Terror Tower, tour the film sets of the thrillers, with real life actors to scare the little mites. To cool down after the fright why not take the cherubs to Atlantis water theme park, an experience not to be missed. It was the first water park in Britain to hold the longest waterslides and now they have the rapids which will carry you away.
