Helmsley Part 3. Natalie Eaglen presenting #75
I have returned to Helmsley for the third time, and this time I took a visit to the Helsmley Open Air Swimming Pool.
The Pool I would call a Hidden Gem on a summers day in Helmsley, you not only have the pool, but the backdrop of the North York Moors behind.

Helmsley is a market town and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the town is located at the point where Rye Dale leaves the moorland and joins the flat Vale of Pickering. The Cleveland Way National Trail starts at Helmsley, and follows a horseshoe loop around the North York Moors National Park and Yorkshire coast for 110 miles (180 km) to Filey. The remains of Helmsley Castle tower over the town.
It is situated on the River Rye on the A170 road, 14 miles (23 km) east of Thirsk, 13 miles (21 km) west of Pickering and some 24 miles (39 km) due north of York. The southern boundary of the North York Moors National Park passes through Helmsley along the A170 road so that the western part of the town is within the National Park.
The settlement grew around its position at a road junction and river crossing point. Helmsley is a compact town, retaining its medieval layout around its market place with more recent development to the north and south of its main thoroughfare, Bondgate. It is a historic town of considerable architectural character whose centre has been designated as a conservation area. The town is associated with the Earls of Feversham, whose ancestral home Duncombe Park was built overlooking Helmsley Castle. A statue of William Duncombe, 2nd Baron Feversham stands in the town's square. The town is a popular tourist centre and has won gold medals in the Large Village category of Yorkshire in Bloom for three years. The town square is a meeting place for motorcyclists as it is at the end of the B1257 road from Stokesley, which is a favourite with bikers.
Helmsley is situated on the southern boundary of the North York Moors National Park approximately 200 feet (61 m) above sea level. The town's geology is sandstone. To the west and the north of the settlement the moorland areas are predominantly limestone. Helmsley lies in a hollow in undulating open countryside, flanked by heather moor to the north and the rolling farmland of the Howardian Hills to the south. The flat lowland of the Vale of Pickering stretches eastwards from the town towards Malton. The River Rye runs by the town to the south where it is joined at Rye Bridge by the Borough Beck flowing southwards through the town from the moors. Meadows south of the Rye form an important buffer and create an attractive setting for the town from the southern approach.
Helmsley Arts Centre has a 140-seat auditorium and 40-seat studio/exhibition space.It provides film screenings, live music, theatre performances, comedy clubs, art exhibitions and workshops/classes. The 1812 Theatre Company is the resident amateur theatre company at the centre. It mounts at least three productions per year in the main theatre and two in the studio. The 1812 Youth Theatre meets there on a regular basis, putting on two shows a year.
The five-acre (2 ha) Helmsley Walled Garden, originally built in 1756, is being restored as a working kitchen garden. A walled garden for the castle stood along the banks of the river to the south. Soon after the family moved out of the castle into Duncombe Park this walled garden was built. The garden incorporates glass houses designed in 1850 as a vine house. The ongoing programme of restoration uses appropriate plants where possible.
Helmsley has an open-air swimming pool and a recreation ground providing facilities for tennis, bowls, cricket and football. The Cleveland Way, a horseshoe-shaped route around the North York Moors National Park starts in Helmsley. It follows the moor's western escarpment to meet the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and then follows the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast to end at Filey. Other places of interest include the International Centre for Birds of Prey, Rievaulx Abbey and Helmsley Arts Centre.

Outstanding poetically crafted British documentary from 1971 portraying the unique and remarkable Page family. They live in the woods with no modern amenities and construct wonderful mechanical contraptions from the many bits of old scrap iron they surround themselves with. The men tinker with their ancient steam engines, a Fowler and an Allchin, or the boat they're building semi-submarine fashion, and the women tend the garden or play discordant tunes on the harmonium or the piano rotting away in the garden. Cut off from society and its influences in their woodland paradise they spend their time observing, creating and surviving. They have evolved their own fantastical philosophies about the world around them, putting their faith in the past and mistrusting the future, with their immediate concerns being earthly, as in the quality of food and how the land is worked, resonating with today's concerns. gradually the film reveals a true independence of existence and an elemental wisdom that leaves you questioning today's accepted values in our ever more homogenized society. But even in paradise family tensions exist. These are overcome in the closing shot as the family pull together and triumphantly drive their ancient Fowler steam engine through the streets of Horsham. It's beautiful, quirky, poignant, bizarre and constantly fascinating. Once seen never forgotten. A film to be watched many times; you'll always find something new.

Dales High Way v2
Steffi and I walked The Dales High Way for our 4th wedding anniversary. It starts in Saltaire, in the north of Bradford, and continues for 93 miles through some of the nicest countryside in England up to Appleby-in-Westmorland.
We continued from there to Penrith for two reasons - the trains are better for travelling back home to Bolton and it takes the mileage past 100, which sounds better :-)
