The B1257 from Great Broughton to Helmsley rightly earns its nickname of The Helmsley TT.  After leaving Great Broughton the road climbs up Clay Bank and then drops quickly down to Chop Gate (Chop Yat if you’re a local) and the short 30mph through the village.  After Chop Gate the road opens up and the thrill starts though the Bilsdale with some fast sweeping bends.   Look to your right and you’ll see Bilsdale Mast.  Past the Sun Inn where Prince Harry played Cricket. Then another climb up Newgate Bank and before you know it you’re dropping down into Helmsley.  Stop in the market square at for a cuppa and you’ll meet many a fellow rider out for their twisties fix.
