For the last day of our holiday, we drove into Scarborough to visit Peasholm Park.
We remembered this from years ago, but it has changed a lot. There is a
car park at the lower end of the park. Here I selected 4 hours on the
ticket machine and was charged for 24. This is one of the downsides of
not being able to pay with cash. We walked along the path next to the woodland stream, there is considerable damage to some of the trees. Some of that damage has been turned into these impressive carvings. |

| We left the park near the top, walking back along the roads. Through the houses, Scarborough Castle is visible. It's a ruin we didn't get to visit. |
| Sitting in the café, we were surrounded by gulls, with less than friendly expressions, as they tried to judge when someone would leave some item of food behind, or drop a crumb or two. Meanwhile, they argued about the best position to watch from. The Leak and Potato soup from the café made a good lunch. The baguette was warm, but the butter hard, as is mostly the case. |
There were other birds on the lake, Canada geese, pink footed geese, and mallards, but the overwhelmingly most common were the gulls.

Here is a view of the lake from the café. |
| We did get a ride on a train, even if not a particularly large one. The Scarborough North Bay Railway narrow gauge track goes from the park to the Sea Life Centre. Not far, but far enough to satisfy our need for a train ride. We returned to the cottage after this, as rain was forecast. |
In the evening, we drove to Bridlington for the Roy Orbison Tribute. The theatre, is lovely, and the show was entertaining enough to be worth a visit. |
