Boltby

Boltby is a small village within the North York Moors National Park, in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire. Set beneath the western escarpment of the Hambleton Hills, close to Sutton Bank, the village sits in a valley with a beck running through it and open countryside on all sides. The Cleveland Way passes nearby, and Gormire Lake and Whitestone Cliff are within easy reach for walkers. The village has a parish church, Holy Trinity, with records dating back to the 1600s. Thirsk lies around six miles to the south west, providing a wider range of shops, schools and services, along with road and rail links to the surrounding area.

The Annexe is liable for its own Council Tax bill under band A.

Boltby benefits form a lasting covenant which provides free water. You are therefore not liable for any mains water rates from Yorkshire Water.
