Scarborough and the places nearby.
Scarborough is often called Britain's first seaside resort, its castle headland splitting the North Bay from the South Bay. Tourism runs alongside a year-round town with a theatre, a university campus and a large retired population. Many big Victorian buildings are now flats or guest houses, keeping trades busy with repair work. Hospitality needs clear seasonal opening times and booking, while home-services businesses should name Scalby, Newby and Eastfield so residents know they are local.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Filey (7 miles), Pickering (15 miles), Whitby (17 miles) and Norton-on-Derwent (18 miles). A longer drive takes in Bridlington (16 miles) and Driffield (19 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Scarborough, the site can name areas such as North Bay, South Bay, Falsgrave, Scalby, Newby, Eastfield, Seamer and Osgodby.
From our base in Exeter, Scarborough is about 279 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start YO.
