A little history
Helmsley Castle, built in the 12th century, was besieged during the Civil War — the earthworks from the siege are still visible. Duncombe Park, the magnificent Baroque house set in landscaped gardens, overlooks the town. Helmsley is the official starting point of the Cleveland Way long-distance path.
Helmsley Castle is excellent and English Heritage — the siege earthworks are fascinating. Duncombe Park for the Baroque gardens and deer park. The market square for excellent independent food shops. The Cleveland Way for the North Moors walking.
