One thriving area is Helmsley and the Howardian Hills. Located between the North York Moors National Park, the Yorkshire Wolds and the Vale of York, it’s an area of forested rolling hills and farmland, pretty villages, landscaped parkland and country estates, including the mighty Castle Howard after which the Howardian Hills are named. In 1987 the area was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and in 2024 was crowned Most Exciting Food Destination in The Good Food Guide Awards.
