Helmsley

One of the many walks looking down on Helmsley

Castle Stores is based in the historic market town of Helmsley.

Helmsley has a wide selection of businesses from Jewellers, Café's, Food shops, Book shops, Clothes shops and of course Castle Stores our Wool shop (plus many more wonderful places);
(to find more about Helmsley and some of the businesses; see This Is Helmsley, you can also join Visit Helmsley's facebook page).  Helmsley also has a castle which has a fascinating history of about nine hundred years, and it is fun for the family.

Now fun for all the family is a phrase we like at Helmsley:

Recently Helmsley has celebrated the Queens diamond Jubilee with a scarecrow competition and many other events during the day too.  More recently Helmsley has celebrated yorkshire (day you can see some of the photos for that here and here) it is just a few examples of how Helmsley throws a party; and we plan for many more in the future!

Taking time out.

If you want to get away from it all Helmsley has many places where you can go for walks and just take in the beautiful countryside surrounding Helmsley.  Helmsley is also the start of the famous Cleveland Way walk which goes from Helmsley to Filey.  The Cleveland way goes through Sutton Bank, Kildale, Runswick Bay, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough and finishes at Filey; this will take a walker about nine days and you will have walked 109 miles!  (See more about the cleveland way here)  These walks are packed with history and beauty ready for you to explore.

We hope that you will come and visit Helmsley and have a great time it is a fantastic town, and we want to share with you!

Scarf Yarn

They are not only very popular but these scarf yarns are very easy to knit.  

Simply knit into the loops in the yarn and before you know it you will have a wonderful scarf.  It is designed to be quick and easy for knitters; it is quick because there are not many stitches on the row so you find that you will finish the scarf in a couple of evenings.
There are many colours available and in many styles, so come and have a look at the wide selection we have available.

So here it is; quick, simple, easy, and fashionable.
