Starting from the bustling, historic market town of Helmsley on the edge of the North York Moors, this circular walk takes in wooded dales, streams, open views from fields above the dales and we'll have time to visit one of the many cafes or pubs for refreshment after the walk.

Expect mud underfoot - this is North Yorkshire. It is an 8 mile circular walk. It is part of the GET SOCIAL THIS JANUARY programme

The town is a popular tourist spot so amenities are open all year round. The town is also home to some great places to visit, such as Helmsley Castle ruins (English Heritage), Helmsley Walled Garden with great cafe, historic market square. Nearby you can also find the stunning remains of Rievaulx Abbey and the grounds of Duncombe Park. These won't be part of the walk, but for anyone thinking of staying longer, some ideas for you!

Dogs are welcome on this walk but need to be sociable with other dogs and people and kept under close control with livestock and wildlife en route.

Public Transport. Alas, it seems that the only buses to Helmsley on winter Sundays are the 128 East Yorkshire bus service from Scarborough. If you need a lift, please contact the leader to check options.
