Hackness North Yorkshire Map

About Hackness

Hackness rests within a fold of the North York Moors, a place where ancient woodland whispers to the sky. It lies 7.6 km west-north-west of Scarborough (from Scarborough: bearing 287°T, OS grid SE 967 905), and is situated west of Scalby village. The River Derwent, a ribbon of silver, carves its way through the valley, its banks often dappled with the soft, diffused light that filters through the dense canopy of trees. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and the faint, sweet fragrance of wildflowers in the hedgerows that border Hackness. Evidence of its monastic past lingers, most notably in the ruins of the 12th-century Hackness Abbey, a tranquil testament to centuries of devotion. The village itself, a scattering of stone-built cottages, seems to draw its character from the quiet resilience of the surrounding landscape.
