These two North Yorkshire cottages are situated just three miles from Helmsley at the edge of the North York Moors on the banks of the River Rye. It is one of the historic gateways to the moors and boasts a lovely ruined Norman castle and a large market place filled with a busy street market every Friday. This is ideal walking country - Helmsley is the starting point of the Cleveland Way, which heads around the moors and down the coast to Filey, and the Ebor Way via York to Ilkley and its famous moor. For something more gentle, a route from Helmsley to Rievaulx Abbey and back, is a great local walk.
Enjoying lovely country views from their verandahs and a tranquil setting, these three lodges make an excellent base for exploring the myriad delights of North Yorkshire. Set with three similar properties on a truly peaceful and friendly little site, they lie 3 miles from the market towns of Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley - which boasts a castle and seasonal open air swimming pool. Rievaulx Abbey and Terraces, Castle Howard, Flamingo Land, Eden Camp and the North York Moors Steam Railway at Pickering are all within 10 miles whilst the the medieval city of York’s wealth of attractions – including York Minster, the Jorvik Viking Centre, National Railway Museum and great shopping – are only 25 miles distant. Scarborough’s sandy beaches, famous theatre and seaside activities are a 40 minute drive away, and fishing, golf and walking are all enjoyed locally. An award winning farm shop/cafe selling local produce is 0.5 miles away and a popular fish and chip shop and an Indian restaurant are within easy walking distance in the village.
