I lived in Scarborough for 8 months, while I studied at the university. I think that the best place to visit while living in Scarborough is Whitby Abbey. It is only about a half hour bus ride away and it is beautiful and magical. Also, if you are in Whitby, you must try the Fish and Chips from the Magpie Cafe. I’ll never eat fish and chips in America again because nothing could compare to those at the Magpie Cafe and I prefer to remember them as scrumptious and delicious.
