​Transport

Esk Valley Railway
Normal Train Services Resume
Services on the Esk Valley line between Whitby and Middlesbrough will resume in full from Monday 17 May. It is basically the same timetable that was in operation until the first Lockdown last year, but with one or two minor changes by a couple of minutes. Subject to any further Government directives, this timetable is expected to remain in use until the next National timetable change in December.But we have still so far not been able to persuade Northern that a call at Danby is necessary by the additional trains introduced in December 2019, and we will continue to press them to do so, together with improvements to connections into other services at Middlesbrough.
Full details of services from 17 May will be available soon on the EVRDC website at: www.eskvalleyrailway.co.uk

​​Walking

Get Outdoors! 
Helmsley Creativity Trail is a resource that sets out to encourage people to explore the beautiful market town of Helmsley and all that it has to offer. It provides mindful and creative ideas for children and young people to enjoy in collaboration with adults. Download the trial for free from www.helmsleyarts.co.uk, or call in for a printed copy when the Arts Centre reopens. The resource has been designed by local artist Poppy Love Oldham, who was commissioned as part of our Creative and Connected project, funded by Arts Council England. To view more of the artist’s work, please visit her website on www.poppyloveoldham.co.uk

For those who would like to enjoy the resource in conjunction with a walk, the Helmsley Discovery Trail put together by Visit Helmsley is also available for download from the website. This is an easy terrain walk and follows a circular 1-mile route around Helmsley, providing full directions to each location included within the Creativity Trail.
