Leave the lovely town of Helmsley by the churchyard and then shortly after enter the peace and beauty of the nearby countryside. Visit three dales, Ash Dale, Riccal Dale and Kirk Dale, where you cross the river by an old water mill. Between the dales are wooded slopes and open countryside where you can see the majestic high ground to the north, where Wainwright crossed on his way to Robin Hood's Bay; and the Wolds to the south. See primroses and daffodils in April, bluebells in May and butterflies and birds and other wildlife. There is some road-walking, but these are quiet country roads even on a Bank Holiday. The day is rounded off by refreshment in Kirkbymoorside while waiting for the bus.
