Whashton North Yorkshire Map

About Whashton

Whashton rests quietly in the embrace of North Yorkshire's rolling landscape. It lies 5.7 km north-north-west of Richmond (from Richmond: bearing 337°T, OS grid NZ 149 062), and is situated east-south-east of Kirby Hill village. The lanes that lead to Whashton often carry the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a subtle perfume of the countryside. Here, ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn blossom in spring, speak of centuries of patient cultivation. The houses of Whashton, fashioned from warm local stone, seem to absorb the gentle, diffused light that filters across the Yorkshire Wolds. A quietude pervades Whashton, a stillness broken only by the calls of curlews or the distant bleating of sheep on the surrounding fells.
