Getting There

East Gilling is about 30-minutes drive by car from Rosella Cottage here in Rosedale Abbey.

Drive south down the valley to join the A170 and turn right towards Helmsley.

Pass through Helmsley on the A170 until you reach the junction with the B1257; take this road.

After about a mile, take the road on the right sign-posted "Ampleforth".

After just 100 yards, take the next right to drop down the steep hill at Oswaldkirk to arrive in East Gilling.

The village hall is up the lane to the right of the Fairfax Arms Inn.
