Are you enjoying the lovely sunshine? I certainly I am. The only down-side to all this sunshine is that crochet takes a back-seat, as I want to be out and about. Si and I decided to really enjoy the sunshine and go on a long walk. Well six miles: quite long for us – I don’t know about you? It is a walk that we have been meaning to do for a long time, but somehow have never got round to it. Like out visit to Birmham Rocks we’ve been meaning to go for eleven years now: but somehow never got round to it. Tut-tut to us. The sun was shining, we were up and about so we decided to do the walk from Helmsley, a beautiful market town nestled in North Yorkshire, to Rievaulx Abbey and back again. Naturally I took my camera, so you can come along with us…
The walk started in Helmsley, I can’t stress just how lovely Helmsley is, if you can visit it: do. It has everything; tea-shops, antique shops, pubs, bookshops, charity shops, a wool shop, a brilliant Friday market, even a castle…
After walking away from the castle, we found ourselves in dappled
shade of woodlands full of wild flowers…
Passing by a gentle meandering steam…
With beautiful a bridge spanning the stream…
Baby geese enjoying the steam and sunshine as much as us…
After an hour or so of pottering along, we were treated with
a view of our destination…
Arriving at Rievaulx Abbey we treated ourselves to a light
lunch in the tea-room then spent a happy couple of hours wondering around the Abbey..
After that we made our way back along the same path to Helmsley. We both really enjoyed the day and are now
planning lots more walks. It really is
good for the soul to be out and about! I
can’t wait…
