Duncombe Park is a 300-acre (120-hectare) country estate and one of Yorkshire’s finest historic homes. It is the current home of the Duncombe family, or Baron Feversham. The estate sits in a beautiful setting above the meandering River Rye and is noted for its woodland walks and wildlife. It has been designated a National Nature Reserve due to the rare insects and fungi that thrive in the ancient woodlands. The trails in the park itself are open to the public seven days a week, and tickets can be bought from the Birds of Prey Centre for a nominal fee of £1 at the time of writing. The house itself, however, is closed to the public but does host public events such as weddings.

There has been a church in Helmsley since before the Norman conquest and the churchyard was used as a market place in Anglo-Saxon times. A church was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. There was much rebuilding in the 19th century between 1866 and 1869 funded by the Earl of Feversham. Many changes were made in the rebuilding, and Norman and later features were lost, including the font, which was replaced in 1868; the original medieval font is now in the church at Pockley.

There are steps in both directions - down then up. Fortunately not too many of them but there is quite a drop between some individual steps, which are quite steep, others a bit more shallow.
