The Black Swan stands on the market square in Helmsley, a coaching inn that’s part Tudor, part Georgian and comfortably grand inside. It runs as a hotel with a restaurant and terrace, well placed for the castle and the start of the Cleveland Way. Thirsk is the nearest station, a good 20km to the west.
