We are the Northallerton Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting at the car park at Cowhouse Bank the route goes NE through the woods to Helmsley Bank, descending to Potter House, and crossing the edge of Helmsley Moor to Piethorn, stopping for lunch at the old lime kilns. We return via the Grade II listed St. Mary Magdalene's Church (built 1882) and Cowhouse Bank Wood. There are a few stiles, plus both a gate and a fallen tree that we will have to clamber over. Generally good tracks, with a section of c. 0.6 miles along a very quiet road. Towards the end of the walk there is a fairly steep path back up to the main track. This section of path has been affected by fallen trees and is a little overgrown.
Tea afterwards at Cornercopia in Helmsley. After booking please contact the leader to say if you will be joining us for after-walk refreshments and whether you would like a scone. (Googlemaps link - https://maps.app.goo.gl/kEdrtsx8Zvykeiag6 )
