Hutton-le-Hole
North Yorkshire
Many of the houses in the village surround a rugged village green through which flows the Hutton Beck.
The Village Hall is in the main street. Almost opposite, hiding in the trees, is the diminutive St Chad's Church, an early 20th century building of traditional style which replaced what was originally a Zion Chapel.
Hutton-le-Hole is a popular tourist attraction but parking is restricted through the village, helping to maintain its beauty. Unless finding a space as a customer of one of the village businesses, such as The Crown inn, parking is largely confined to the National Park pay and display car park at Moor Lane, where (in 2022) the minimum fee is for up to 3 hours, with longer stay parking also available.
