Blue Haven- distance to Scarborough

I'm confused! I have read various reviews which say it is a 10 minute walk into Scarborough but have just found another one that says it's 2 miles. Now I like walking but most people actually only walk about 2 miles an hour pace. So these "facts" are mutually exclusive. Is it really feasible to walk to a restaurant in the evening or would a taxi be more realistic?

Dear Pam
The distance is really only a 10 to 15 minute walk from the Blue Haven into Scarborugh. This would be to the top end of the town, then a short stroll through the streets would take you down to the sea front.
The restaurants in Scarborough tend to be fast food places and small snack bars, such as KFC and Pizza Boys. If you want a full on restaurant meal with waiter service then i would suggest you hire a taxi or use a hire car.
Most restaurants tend to be about 15 to 20 minute drive away, there are a couple much closer to the Blue Haven our favourite was the Salsa Kitchen or for lunch, Shore Things which is just past Scarborough. But again you will need transport to reach these places.
Kind regards

Hi Pam
As Tony indicates, the truth is somewhere between the two extremes. Yes, it is probbly the best part of 2 miles to downtown Scarborough (the harbour), but about three-quarters to Gun Bridge and Upper Scarborough. Where does Scarborough start? Bacolet is like a suburb.
In truth, you're highly unlikely to be walking to restaurants at night, unless it's the Blue Haven or Old Donkey Cart. Anything else is going to be a taxi drive.
