It is an easy drive to the coast, the resorts
of Scarborough and Filey, the old fishing villages
of Robin Hood¹s Bay, famous for its smugglers,
and Whitby, the home of Dracula. Not far away is medieval
York with its spectacular Minster, the Viking Jorvik
Centre and the National Railway Museum. This is Heartbeat
and Herriot country, the home of Brideshead Revisited - Castle
Howard, and the North York Moors Steam Railway - where Harry
Potter was filmed. And don¹t forget Flamingoland Theme
Park with Magnum Force !
Helmsley is a small market town and shopping
is a pleasure, there are family butchers, specialist grocers,
a market on Fridays and plenty of excellent pubs and restaurants.
It has an open air pool, its very own stately home, Duncombe
Park, and is good walking country.
