Geography
The shape of the parish is a rectangle perpendicular to the coast, omitting the south-east corner which is the sea life centre and park of Scarborough, with a north-west rectangular projection most of which is closer to Burniston than Scalby. The village forms one large cluster in the mid-south of this area traversed by several small roads and passing through is a section of the relatively minor A171. Newby is south of the Scalby Beck (or Sea Cut) and is physically undivided from the rest of Scarborough. The coast here is cliffs topped by the Cleveland Way including Scalby Ness.
