The small market town of Helmsley lies on the southern edge of the
North York Moors National Park and flowing past the edge of town
lies the River Rye. Born high on the slopes of the Cleveland Hills,
this river cuts a deep sided valley as it makes it's way through
the flat-topped Tabular Hills passing Hawnby, Rievaulx and finally
Helmsley before entering the Vale of Pickering. As it heads
north-west from Helmsley, a network of footpaths takes you through
this valley, along wooded trails and riverside fields to the
heather clad moors that line the upper reaches of this quiet,
little dale. For the walker, this presents some of the best
countryside that Yorkshire has to offer. It's little wonder that
the medieval monks chose this valley to site their monasteries and
settlements. Here history mixes with the countryside with four
thousand years of human habitation lying amongst the trees, in the
fields and across the moors. A walk here tells you much more than
where your next footstep goes.
