Known for its historic castle ruins, peaceful countryside and independent shops and cafes, Helmsley offers a perfect GOGA experience for nature lovers looking to discover somewhere new.  Coach travel leaves from and returns to Parkinson steps and is included in the price.

The walking routes will start in Helmsley at the beginning of the Cleveland Way and will follow this route towards the historic ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, a 12th century monastery - taking in the beautiful woodlands, valleys and trails in the area.

Helmsley is a popular market town, famous for its castle, quaint scenery and Viking and medieval history, - having been on records since before the 10th century. The town nowadays is a walkers dream with routes packed with history, weaving throughout the quaint landscape of beautiful valleys and woodlands and then the bustling market town to enjoy afterwards.
