Helmsley
Helmsley Ryedale
A compact market town with sandstone streets, independent shops, cafés, a castle and direct access to the western North York Moors.
Why go?
It is small enough to explore on foot but deep enough to anchor a full day, especially when combined with the castle, walled garden or a walk toward Rievaulx.
