Visible from the main path through the woods at Yearby, although the tree cover made GPS reception tricky.
There appears to be a second chamber through the doorway at the rear, although i had neither a powerful torch or a ladder to venture any further to photograph it.
Some sort of ladder is needed if you want to get inside (or more importantly get back out afterwards)
There is a record of a hermit called Mick Plummer actually living here.

One to go and visit, probably minus a ladder at this stage though! The story of Mick Plummer was worth reading, an interesting charater, he’ll certainly be in my thoughts when I make it there. Hope he doesn’t haunt the place 😉
My sad recollection is that he had family (mother?) in nearby Yearby but for some reason (landowner?) he ended up living in a makeshift shelter under a hedge in a field entrance on the left of Yearby Bank in appalling weather. Shortly after that I heard he had died. Tragic.
