Went to Helmsley Walled Garden for the first time yesterday. It's a beautiful garden, lovingly restored by volunteers. Sadly the woman whosedream it was died shortly after it opened to the public, but what a memorial! Will try to get OH to put up some pics later, but here's the website if you're interested (sadly not many pics there)

Wished we'd gone today as there is a "Hidden Gardens of Helmsley" event on which we could have seen as well.
Looks lovely Caroline. Its a pity we never went there when we were caravanning nearby few years back. We were in Helmsley quite a bit as well. Always loads of motor bykers there.
;)
Yes, the bikers were there yesterday, Carol!
I will have to get myself sorted and see all these gardens in my own county.
Helmsley is a place where my kids have been with school, but I (shamefully) have never been.
I'm looking forward to seeing the pics Caroline.
Jo.
We went years ago, when the boys were smaller than OH... next time we are at MIL's in York must go again, and call in on you as well Caroline... we use the A64 a lot!! ;D
You'd be very welcome, saddad!
