Sheep keep the grass short on the green at Hutton-le-Hole, where Hutton Beck winds between the cottages under little wooden bridges. The Ryedale Folk Museum here gathers rescued old buildings — an Iron Age roundhouse, thatched cottages, period shops — across an open-air site telling the story of moorland life. It’s a pretty, easy stop on the southern moors, with Lastingham and Farndale close by.
