About

Helmsley serves as a market town for the southern reaches of the North York Moors, with its historic castle and walled gardens providing a focal point. The area's economy is connected to agriculture, local tourism, and the nearby Duncombe Park estate. Roads from here lead into the national park's heather-covered moorland, offering access to walking trails and the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey.

This part of the area is characterised by rolling farmland and woodland, with settlements often centred around village greens. The distinct monastic tradition associated with the community continues to influence local life and land use.
