헴슬리 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Very busy ..get there early as you can

Reopened in 2007 after it was badly damaged when freak weather caused the River Rye to burst its banks on June 19, 2005. Shaken Bridge Weir is downstream, south of the bridge, and the River Rye meanders with a few different channels just upstream to the north.

Note that the Abbey itself is English Heritage and has both cafe and toilets available accessible without paying admission/requiring membership. The only downside is that to get there from Rievaulx Terrace it is down a steep hill.

The Helmsley market as being going for 600 years and takes up most of the parking at the Market Place on Fridays.

Interesting for their sheer size alone, the old remains of the abbey also have an air of transience about them. Only the sometimes horrendous entrance fees prevent people from taking a closer look at the remains of the walls. It would certainly have been interesting.

A beautiful abbey ruin, easily accessible on a walk from Helmsley.

A beautiful market square. The monument on the square is striking.

Charming spot with an old stone bridge over the River Rye. Links the tracks and paths around Rievaulx (east side) with tracks and a road to Old Byland (west side).
