YHA Helmsley is an excellent choice for guests looking for green spaces, big skies and heaps so fresh air; the site rests on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, affording easy access to mile upon mile of hiking and biking trails, plus all kinds of open-air recreation. Several peaceful pitches rest by a youth hostel in the centre of Helmsley, providing adventuring types with a budget-friendly way to head out among the quintessentially English countryside and savour the freedom to wander or unwind as needed. The site rests conveniently for exploring the North York Moors National Park, brimming with walking trails ranging from easy-going ones for the family or long-distance hikes on more challenging trails like 109-mile Cleveland Way. There are several daredevil mountain bike routes for the adrenaline junkies and an exciting Go-Ape adventure course in the Dalby Forest for family-friendly fun. Various gentle and challenging activities are available in the area, so go ahead and swap screen time and a sedentary lifestyle for active exploration, green views, and the freedom to spend your holiday at a pace of choice. If you find yourself too tired to stagger into town for meals, a lovely evening spread is served up in the dining room each night. A self-catering kitchen is also available for campers with supplies. Barbeques are also encouraged here, and pets are most welcome.
