Helmsley, 13 miles west of Pickering and 24 miles north of York, is incredibly pretty. It is the only market town in the North York Moors National Park and offers fascinating and welcoming attractions and entertainment. You can visit the National Centre for Birds of Prey, Helmsley Castle, the town’s own brewery, the gorgeous walled gardens and of course there are many award-winning eateries. The shops are unique and interesting, perfect for browsing before you stop in one of the charming tea rooms.

Helmsley welcomes so many visitors year after year. Once they have discovered its charms they always want to return. Both the Cleveland Way and Ebor Way begin from the town. It is also easy to get to Harrogate or York for an afternoon of shopping.

Visitors that enjoy ancient monuments and castles will be delighted. Hidden deep in the River Rye valley, you will find the beautiful, tranquil and romantic Rievaulx Abbey ruins. Rievaulx was one of the first Cistercian abbeys to be founded in England around 1130. Its picturesque ruins became a beacon for poets, painters and scholars. It was one of the first major ruins to be conserved by the ancestor of English Heritage, the Office of Works in 1917. Today it is a very impressive visitor attraction. Above the abbey, you can visit Rievaulx

Terrace and Temples. The temples are 18th century, one of which is the splendid Ionic Temple with intricate ceiling paintings. The views from the terrace are stunning.

In the opposite direction you will find Castle Howard. One of the great palaces of Europe, Castle Howard is a place like no other. Generations of the Howard family have welcomed visitors for over 300 years. You can visit the palace itself or enjoy the lakes, the woodland walk, the walled garden, the tea rooms, the playground and the temples and monuments. There is a lot on offer!

Why not take a trip to Pickering to take a trip on the steam train? Pickering Station is a must-see 1930’s themed station that will transport you back in time to the steam era. The town holds a traditional market every Monday and boasts the Beck Isle Museum, a 13th century castle originally built by William the Conqueror and its beautiful Church of St Peter and St Paul where you can see some magnificent 15th century wall paintings.
