My recommended drives on Gmaps |
|
Brandsdale was gifted to the NT in 1969 and beautifully preserved from that era. 25 or 44 miles from Helmsley back to A170. Lovely tiny church and walk from Cockaine. Also, if you can find it down a short footpath, the restored Brandsdale Mill. Farndale is also set is the past, Church Houses pub at the far end. Rosedale Abbey next then up the 1:3 Rosedale Chimney bank to a great pub at Lastingham with a lovely walk around the edge of the moors. |

Surprisingly charming twisty drive, repeatedly into valleys and out onto the moors. Osmotherley interesting village to walk around, two good pubs, 6 mile walk passing Lady's Chapel and Mount Grace Priory. Drive on to Carleton Bank and Chop Gate (Chop-yat to us!) then down Bilsdale, such a gorgeous valley back home to Helmsley and here. |
|
Sylish and spaceous market place with great individual shops, Bettys, Barkers, Lewis & Cooper (better than their websites!) |
|
Slow Roads! Byland Abbey, Mouse Man of Kilburn, up the White Horse bank(walk), Sutton Bank centre(walk), down Sutton Bank to Thirsk for Herriot centre and fish & chips in the market place. Feed the ducks at Newburgh Priory on the way home. |
|
Lovely quiet route through the wild moors to Whitby (car Park) and a quicker way back via Pickering. Perhaps deviate via the old tv favouites |
