Our aim is to ensure that you have a happy and enjoyable stay at Helme Pasture. The Office: There is usually someone in or around the office from 09.30 on Monday to Friday mornings and often beyond. Please ring the front door bell of the main house (where is says enquiries). Alternatively ring 01423 780279 or one of the additional numbers which have been given to you upon arrival. If you have any problems please contact us ASAP and we will do our best to help, after all, if we don’t know about it, we can’t help put it right! The Woodland: This is our own private woodland which we would encourage you to explore during your stay. If you are quiet, it is quite surprising how much wildlife can be seen and heard, especially in the early mornings. Deer, badgers + other mammals and many different bird species can be seen, but obviously there are many factors at play which determine what you actually see! When exploring, please wear suitable footwear and take a torch if needed. While we maintain the trees immediately around the farmhouse, we cannot do this deeper in the wood and there is always the (very remote) risk of tree limbs breaking off and falling down around you.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk High Grantley
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk High Grantley Two Lakes Walk Starting point and OS Grid reference High Grantley (SE 233670) – Roadside parking Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 298 - Nidderdale Distance 8.5 miles Date of Walk 23 March 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: This North Yorkshire walk from High Grantley takes you past two significant stretches of water, Eavestone Lake and Lumley Moor Reservoir. It also passes some smaller fishing ponds, too small to count as “Lakes”. Eavestone Lake is an attractive stretch of water with an old stone arch bridge and was created by damming the stream, Hungate Dyke. It has some interesting rock formations which you pass and will be attractive in spring/early summer on account of the profusion of rhododendrons. Lumley Moor Reservoir is less well known than many other reservoirs but has a pleasant path encircling it. The map shows the footpath going straight across it but messianic abilities are not required to cross as there is a causeway along a raised banking, splitting the reservoir. The reservoir is some 27 acres in extent and is another supply for Yorkshire Water. It was originally built in the late 19th Century to supply Ripon. High Grantley is a picturesque quiet village on the north side of the River Skell. Nearby is Grantley Hall, a Grade II listed building. The gardens have all the features of a grand country house, with extravagant landscaping, water features etc but unfortunately are not open to the public. The walk is straightforward with some small gradients here and there but nothing to get excited about.
