When on holiday it's nice to pick up new things, especially if they are individually wrapped and easy to take on hikes.
Here we have a little brioche which is similar to the ones I have at home, yet also different!
Here it is by a rock. Apparently this was an important battle which the English lost so doesn't get talked about much.
Nice views though. The brioche was as you'd expect - a bit light for replenishing energy on the hike, but very welcome nonetheless. Nice flavours and a great balance of chocolate to bread. Perfect for office lunchboxes.
You can even see this chalk horse after a while, but it's much better seen from above as demonstrated by the notice board.
You have to (can?) walk up from the carpark below - and it's very steep - or you could just go the way we went back which was virtually flat and well paved.
And the views are spectacular - that's a pretty steep drop a few meters in front!
To the extent that a gliding club is set up at the top to take advantage of the thermals.
I chose to take advantage of the thermals in the wonderful little cafe by the information office.
On the way back we stopped in Helmsley which has a little hidden castle
And a lovely little food shop called Hunters of Helmsley which sold all kinds of wonderful things but I settled on this super deluxe shortbread to save for a special feast.
