Lying in a sheltered corner of Upper Ryedale, on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, Helmsley is a prestigious market town with a spacious market square surrounded by houses, hotels and shops. The area is important historically - Helmsley has its own 12th Century castle and English Heritage’s Rievaulx Abbey is close by. There is excellent walking on the doorstep - indeed the Cleveland Way starts in Helmsley - and the surrounding North York Moors with their hidden dales and villages are pretty in all seasons. York is less than an hour's drive south, Scarborough and the east coast just over an hour whilst Pickering and the beginning of the famous steam railway line (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) are within 30 minutes’ drive.

Helmsley 7 miles. A traditional, stone built, semi-detached cottage, adjoining the owners’ property on their working livestock farm near Old Byland, 7 miles from the delightful market town of Helmsley. Set in a peaceful location within the National Park, Wethercote Cottage has far reaching views across the North York Moors. Cosy and comfortable, the open plan living area retains much charm and character, including ancient low ceiling beams and pine doors. A large, lawned garden complements the setting; the perfect place to sit and relax.

Very useful for visiting York and Thirsk. Good local attractions. Pleasant owners in adjoining farm. Relaxing and quiet place.
Mr Kirkland, Ashford, July 2010
We were made very welcome. The owners family were lovely, allowed us into the lambing pens. Cottage has the best bed I have ever slept in on a holiday. Beautiful old church at Byland, made very welcome on Palm Sunday. Fantastic bakers and butchers in Helmsley - 'Masham sausages' - delicious!
