Just a short drive from Pickering, Helmsley is a characterful market town with a great selection of independent shops and cosy cafes. Great for a relaxed lunch or afternoon tea and a mooch around the shops. Helmsley Castle and Walled Garden are also well worth a visit, as is the nearby National Centre for Birds of Prey at Duncombe Park, open year round.

If you fancy stretching your legs, we highly recommend the 6-mile circular walk along the Cleveland Way, a level path which winds through beautiful countryside before reaching the atmospheric Rievaulx Abbey nestled in a peaceful and picturesque valley 🍃
