- PEASHOLM PARK SCARBOROUGH
A walk around the beautiful Peasholm Park just a short walk from Scarborough Beach on the North Bay of the most popular seaside holiday destination in the UK!
This is a requested walk around the stunning Peasholm Park after many of my viewers requested I film here. So I took the Gimbal Walk TV Cameras and filmed a lovely quiet peaceful walk around this amazing place!
Peasholm Park is an oriental themed municipal park located in the seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1912 and became a venue for galas, displays and exhibitions. The park was extended to include Peasholm Glen, a natural ravine, in 1924. Attractions include an artificial boating lake, where mock naval battles are staged, a putting green and a champion tree walk. The park suffered a decline in use from the 1970s as the number of holidaymakers visiting Scarborough decreased but it has been restored using Heritage Lottery Funding.
Peasholm Park is sited on the north side of the town of Scarborough in a mainly residential area. The site is about 14-hectares and takes in a narrow steep-sided valley running north-east towards North Bay. The valley gradually broadens until it opens out on to low-lying ground closer to the sea. The south-west tip of the site adjoins a cemetery which was opened in the late 19th century, the north-east boundary of the site is the A165 road, which is here called Columbus Ravine. The boundary on the south and south-east side is Peasholm Drive and the cemetery. On the north side the boundary is Northstead Manor Drive and the west boundary is at roads called Ryndleside and Glenside. There is iron fencing on the perimeter of the park in some places but most of the park boundary is defined just by pavements or grass verges alongside the roads.
The Naval Warfare event, Battle of Peasholm, has been played out for half an hour three times a week during the summer season for over 80 years. The model boats used are mostly man powered earning the fleet the title of "The smallest manned navy in the world". All the boats were man powered, until 1929, when electricity was introduced, and now only the larger boats need to be steered by council employees. In the early days, the models were First World War battleships and a U-boat. Then, after the Second World War, the fleet was replaced with new vessels and the battle that was recreated was the Battle of the River Plate.

I love Peasholm Park. When I was a kid they had something called the tree walk on the island. It used to be all lit up with different coloured lights and they had little booths with things in like a Father Christmas workshop, pinky and perky the singing and dancing pigs and a flea circus among other things, it was a magical place for children. It was always a last night of the holiday treat for me to go round the Tree Walk.
Another great & fantastic video of PEASHOLM PARK SCARBOROUGH!.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️
Your videos are the best! I have to say top favorite UA-cam for showing places in real life without all the frills, bells and whistles...just walking through the place! We are avid walkers so your videos have really helped us determine if it is a place we can enjoy walking for several days!!! Thank you for taking the time to show us around and adding captions at the bottom occasionally to describe the place or thing being shown.
Much appreciated 😁
Nice to see nothing seems to have destroyed the beauty and tranquillity of the place!
True
This is one of my favourite places on Earth.
I have very fond childhood memories of the park :)
Beautiful Peasholm Park! Thank you 😊
Lovely walk around Peasholm, thank you. The naval warfare battle still takes place during the summer season and attracts a good audience. Also during the summer you can cross over the bridge to the island and visit the Pagoda and oriental gardens which are really nice and peaceful.
Peasholm Park is one of the jewels in Scarborough's crowns and well worth a visit. Also recommed getting a fish tea from the North Bay Fisheries just across the road and then sitting in the evening sunshine and eating it in the park :)
Very happy memories of this special victorian park
Very little changes from then until now
Special
Hi I'm new to you, I live in Lincolnshire, me and my parents we had a Guest House not to far away from Peasholm Park, we use to here the Battleships going off, it's a lovely walk round there too. Brings back memory's seeing it x
I remember the battle on the lakes we went about 4 times a year to Scarborough loved it
Great to see the park again, we used to watch the battleships display too. Thanks for Video
You’re welcome!
Love this place I really miss the squirrels, saw the daffodils pushing up miss those too. Thanks for showing us : )
Enjoyed the video! Lovely 🤩
Thank you!
That was lovely! Too much choice now. We don’t know whether to go to Llandudno or Scarborough 😂🙏🏻💕
Thank you ❤️
One of my favourite places to go in Scarborough. Peasholm Park is such a peaceful place & I try to get down there as often as possible. Thank you for sharing your Peasholm Park walk with us 😊
You’re welcome - thank you so much for your support
Many thanks for a trip down memory lane. Even though I've visited Scarborough regularly, I've not been in Peasholm since the 1970s!
Wonderful and interesting, thank you
Thank you too!
Hi 👋and thanks for sharing this video with all of us watching 🤔in our opinion got to be one of the best parks in North Yorkshire been there many times and enjoy every time 👍 sue and den we will be back soon 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌
Fantastic place isn’t it!
Thanks for watching Sue and Den! Appreciate it a lot
Wow, the most beautiful park I have ever seen, how lucky the locals are to have this lovely place. Thanks for sharing 👍
I remember, years ago, the ponds formed by the stream that feeds the lake were always packed with model boat enthusiasts
Hey Neil wonderful walk and vlog enjoy it cheers 💯😊
Thanks mate!
Brilliant camera work , I feel I'm really there
Who of you oldies remember the model battleships shooting it out on the lake, and the dive bombers (on wires) attacking the ships?
Ohhhhhh yes!!!
I remember sitting watching it with my parents we were in it often in the 60s it was a beautiful park, luvd going on the paddle boats.
Saw that in about 1986! 😊
I love Peasholm park...next to it is a wonderful cemetary which has a section containing graves relating to Scarborough residents who lost their lives during the war.
Happy memories last time I was here watched the Naval Battle
Oh yes - cracking thing to sit and watch!
I have just discovered your channel and love the walkers view of a place. I lived in Scarborough in the early 70s for a few years...now live in Australia ....Its a lovely place, I look forward to watching all your videos...thanks for sharing 👏👏😁
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching my videos!
There's lots more on my channel if you have a nosey!
I've only been to the seafront in Scarborough, but this looks lovely, somewhere else for me to explore in the future. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞
It’s lovely 😊 they have small boat battles in the summer what you can watch as well it’s like Chinese in one area worth going there’s a car park next to it as well
@@Michelle-qd9gm excellent thank you
Thankyou for another great video. i love Peasholm Park. Who remembers Tree Walk Wonderland on the island? I wonder where the dragon pedalos go in the winter?
Thank you for sharing this beautiful Peasholm Park. It is serene and has many nice spots to view.
This was great! Fond memories of the park when I visited Scarborough and a few years ago with my husband. As you said, such a peaceful place. Hope your trainers didnt get too dirty!
I did ok in the end
Thought I would slip down the muddy bank but just made it ok 🤣🤣🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV 😂👍
What a lovely place I’ve never heard of it before. You wouldn’t think it was near the seaside it was just the sight and sound of the seagulls that gave it away. Bet it’s great in the summer!! Thanks again and keep on walking 👍👍🚶🏻🚶🏻❤️
Nice video I forgot what a lovely park this was thanks for sharing 👍.
The tree walk......it was on the island, over the bridge. It was shut during the day and opened on an evening, magical in the dark, you had to pay a tiny fee to go over the bridge to go round it. There was glass cabinets every so often set in the bank as you walked to the top, all with different animated lit up scenes going on, brilliant. When you reached the top......there was a ghost house, terrifyingly as a child! I think it closed about 89,90, such a shame after lasting since the 50s, they removed the gates on the bridge, so it was open all the time. Now just a boring walk to the top and a fish pond and pagoda. I still think, with all the tech kids now have, from an early age, the tree walk would still excite them, as it did me! So lucky to have experienced it.
Some great memories there Richard
I have really vague memories from the place as a kid - but remember loving it!
Another childhood favourite of mine not quite ruined by the Council as the middle section you use to pay during the day but on a night it was free to walk around and was all lit up and there was little naff stuff on there like a flea circus and other things that was good for kids entertainment, I dont know if you ever went on it @Gimbalwalktv , the naval battle is always a fun favourite, around the other side where the benches were do you remember there was little birds like finches in cages there? and if you walked further up past the mini boating pond the Peasholm glens as its called evenutally links up to the graveyards at the top of Dean Road/Manor Road. When you first set off the flats with shops underneath use to be the Corner Cafe and it had shows etc, then the boarded up part on the same side use to be the outdoor swimming pool. The cafe on the side you were walking by the crazy golf that use to be a gift shop.
I did the same as you several years ago, revisited Peasholm after nearly 40 years. I ended up not being able to keep away. Its such a peaceful place. I think I need a Scarborough, Filey and Brid hit at some point this year. Thankyou
I have fallen for the charms of you channel ❤️ subscribed!
You a Brave Man messing with them Squirrels 🤣🤣🤣
Thought they were going to spring up at me 🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV 🤣😂🤣😂
LOVE THIS VID!! i’m wondering if you could do a walk around new mills ? it has a lovely landscape and old mill walks which are so nice. !!
Another great video Neil forgot how big it is hopefully to b there at Easter and have a lovely walk around there
Glad you've eventually got here, hopefully you can revisit in the summer
Will definitely return Bruce!
I am a big daft 56 year old Grandfather from Glasgow. We went to Scarborough for about 10 years in a row in the 70's. Saw you walk by what used to be The Corner Cafe. Does the little steam train still run between Peasholm Park and Scalby Mills? 😊
Another fantastic video❤️
Thanks again!
Thanks for more memories, I’ve only been to Scarborough once recently when we visited the castle but as a child we went there often.
We mostly went to that end and Peasholm Park where a ride on the miniature steam train and watching the Naval Battle was compulsory.
Was the area with the multiple seats where the battle takes place, it’s changed so much?
Sadly you didn’t pass the outdoor theatre, back then it had stone seating and I seem to remember water between the seats, path and stage.
My wife sang with The Huddersfield Choral Society for almost 50 years and when the theatre and seating was updated was part of a small choir from the Choral invited to sing at the re-opening.
Me and my parents visited here in 2021, I think my parents took me and my sister here as well in the 90s to this park. but don't remember it

Good luck dear friend😊💝🙏
Make sure you take some unsalted nuts for the squirrels. They're so used to people they'll take nuts from your hand. I even had one jump on my knee when I was there last.
What has happened to the beautiful tree walk. It had all sorts of oddities for children to look at. I.e.... A flee circus. Of course that was many yrs ago. I'm in my 60s now but we visited all the the when we moved up here.
