About Helmsley

  • Helmsley Castle, managed by English Heritage, is one of the finest medieval castles in Yorkshire. The castle was built in the 12th century and was the seat of the powerful de Roos family. The castle was slighted during the Civil War and the ruins are now a popular visitor attraction. The castle keep and the earthworks of the outer defences are particularly impressive.
  • The Cleveland Way long-distance footpath starts at Helmsley Market Square and runs for 110 miles along the western edge of the North York Moors and then along the Yorkshire coast to Filey. The path is one of the finest long-distance routes in England and passes through some of the most dramatic scenery in the national park.
  • Rievaulx Abbey, 3 miles north-west of Helmsley, is one of the finest monastic ruins in England. The abbey was founded by Cistercian monks in 1132 and became one of the wealthiest monasteries in England. The ruins of the church, the chapter house, and the refectory are among the most impressive medieval remains in the country.
  • Duncombe Park, the country house estate on the edge of Helmsley, is one of the finest landscapes in Yorkshire. The house, built in the early 18th century, is set in extensive grounds that include a remarkable grass terrace with views over the Rye valley and the ruins of Helmsley Castle.
