 Helmsley

|
Helmsley, on
the southern edge of the Yorkshire Moors on the River Rye,
is an attractive and popular market town and a good stop when
visiting the area's attractions. It's also the start of the
Cleveland Way so gets popular with walkers.
Helmsley still has
the market, held on Friday's in the main square, with its
statue of Lord Feversham. The current Fevershams live in the
Vanbrugh built mansion, Dumcombe Park, on the edge of the
village, near the 12th century ruined castle.
The
church is worth a visit as it has a letter written by David
Livingston when he was in Africa.
