The Perfect Staycation for Young at Heart

Are you looking for an adventure that will stay with you for life? Then look no further than Route YC – the perfect staycation for those who are young at heart.

Lovers of all things vintage, Rachel and Mark from House of Coco magazine recently took our road trip around the Yorkshire Coast. This blog and video will share what they love about exploring later in life and one of the exciting experiences they encountered on their Route YC adventure.

Viva La Vintage

Uncovering those unique experiences is always the stand-out memory of holidays we treasure. For Rachel and Mark, discovering the Scarborough Fair Collection - full of vintage cars and motorbikes, music and memorabilia, plus classic fairground rides, was a dream come true.

Located between Scarborough and Filey, this unique attraction will fill your heart with nostalgia as you ride the waltzers and carousel whilst listening to the magical Wurlitzer organ. The collection was started by Graham Atkinson in the 1980s and soon became a passion project of epic proportions featuring fascinating pieces from all over Europe and is now a popular attraction for all ages.

Rows of pristine classic cars, steam engines, motorbikes, and memorabilia will transport you back to a bygone era, Scarborough Fair Collection is well worth adding to your itinerary whilst exploring the Filey leg of Route YC.

Freedom to travel

Taking advantage of the freedom you have to escape to the glorious countryside and coastline is one of the things Rachel and Mark love. Heading out at a moment's notice to discover new places is what we've waited for, right?

Route YC makes it easy and quick to plan your trip, taking out all the guesswork. Our interactive maps allow you to select where you'd like to stay and what route you'd like to take along the coast. Fancy seal spotting at Flamborough? Including our Bridlington leg is a must.

You can also save time planning the finer details, such as where to eat and the best activities. Route YC provides excellent local recommendations on places to eat and things to do so you can make sure your time is well spent. Fan of seafood? Whitby is perfect for sampling locally caught lobsters, crabs and more.

With everything you need taken care of, it's easy to be spontaneous and hit the road for your adventure.
