Scarborough Walking tours
Old Town Heritage & Folklore Trail
Find out about the history and heritage of Scarborough's Old Town - from the Romans and the Middle Ages, to the modern seaside town we know today.
Discover the folklore and superstitions associated with different areas of the town - ghosts, ghouls, fishermen's superstitions, pirates and smugglers all add their own spin on the town's history. With many stories passed down through generations, parts of this trail have been built purely from local knowledge - you won't find that on any other Scarborough tour!
Peasholm Nature & FAIRY Trail
Perfect for kids, and big kids! Follow the enchanted woodland trail around Peasholm Park and Glen, look out for the troll bridges, pixie loot and fairy hideouts. Unlock a whole host of imaginative stories and fables, and if you're lucky enough you might just stumble on some little gifts left by fairies of the enchanted wood.
There's also a wildlife survey and activity pack, teaching youngsters about the nature, animals and birds we regularly see in the park.
Pirates, Smugglers and Treasure Trail
Find out where famous pirates and smugglers hid their loot, and see if you can find your own booty in our Treasure Trail. A shorter trail, perfect for little legs we've designed this trail for kids under 11 (and big kids). Take twists and turns along the sea front and through the cobbles of the old town to discover where real pirates and smugglers walked.

Ghouls, hauntings and macabre tales from Scarborough's history up to modern times. An extended version of our ghost tour, complete with a few tales that were too dark to include. This is not a trail for the faint hearted (or easily offended). Don't say we didn't warn you!
