Spittle Beck Wood on Riccal Drive (formerly named Riccal Wood-changed to avoid confusion with Riccal Dale east of Helmsley)
Spittle Beck is a tributary of the River Rye. There is no unsupervised public access to the wood. Helmsley Town Council is very pleased that the Ryevitalise project has used the wood for educational projects since 2022.
