Location and Accessibility

Pros:

• "Ideally situated, walking distance from the town, far enough away to not be distracted."
• "Good location 1.5 miles north of Scarborough's North beach."

• "Excellent location for Scarborough and coastal paths."
• "An excellent location for Scarborough and the Cleveland Way."
• "Great for visiting Scarborough and surrounding area."

Cons:

• "As for the short walk to the beach maybe if you're equipped with a hang glider and you'll need your walking boots as there's many fields and a cliff to navigate before you get there."
• "Being pitched right in front of the gate which lead onto Burniston Road, traffic noise was appalling."
• "It's a large site right by a main road, it is very noisy throughout the day and is also busy overnight."
• "Pitched next to the road, very noisy in the day time."
• "Unfortunately, we were back to the road and there was quite a lot of traffic noise early on in the morning."
• "Site is near NOTHING so own transport is essential unless you want to walk 3mile to the seafront."
