Ebor Way: Helmsley to Hovingham
Our view
From the Market Place in the centre of Helmsley walk down Bridge Street and just before the bridge turn left along Ryegate, then right into Sawmill Lane. At the end the track turns right and at the next junction turn right and then left, on a broad track that becomes a riverside path. Eventually it reaches a gate, passing some yellow flag irises in a bog. Go through and bear left beside the meandering river. Cross a stone footbridge and continue on the riverside route.
On the far side of the field go through two gates for a track past a fish farm. Cross the river for a steady climb past Low Parks Farm. Join the farm access road, which crosses a wooded valley to a track just east of Sproxton.
