For when the winter sun goes down and the darkness is upon us we feel compelled to retreat within the safety of our homes; closing out the nocturnal countryside instead of embracing in its enchantment. And yet, for the select few willing to break the taboo, the dark skies are a magical world.
Walk Yorkshire welcomes you to a 7 circular mile walk from Helmsley to Rievaulx Abbey and back.
Starting in the charming Yorkshire market town of Helmsley, the group will head through the grounds of Duncombe Park before picking up the Cleveland Way and heading off towards Rievaulx Abbey. Dating back to 1131, the Abbey became the largest and richest Cistercian Abbey in England. The group will then head back via the Cleveland Way and return to Helmsley.
The group will meet at 4:30pm outside the Black Swan in Helmsley before heading on the walk. When night time falls you will learn how to use the stars for navigation.
Tickets: £30
