We will depart from Helmsley at 9.30am. We will take the Cleveland Way to Cold Kirby and then cross fields and some minor roads to reach our lunch stop at Old Byland. After we continue across fields, through woods and by a river to reach Rievaulx Abbey. Here we will visit the tea room for a well earned cuppa. A short road walk takes us back to the Cleveland Way for our return to Helmsley.
There will be the option of a meal in Helmsley. Please contact Liz to book a place for the meal.
