IT’S MAGIC!
Harry Potter fans can indulge their love of
Hogwarts with a stay at North Shires. The
Dorm inspired holiday accommodation with
single wooden four-poster beds, an opulent
bathroom and lounge area that mirrors the
Gryffindor common room with a look-alike
castle tower bedroom is perfect for Potter
fanatics. The opening of The Dorm comes
just 18 months after the creation of the
Groundkeeper’s Cottage, based on Hagrid’s
Hut. Seven miles inland from the fishing
village of Staithes, there’s also a Hobbit-hole
inspired cottage, Potts Corner with its turf
roof, round doors and stained glass windows;
Storybook Cottage; gypsy caravans and
shepherd’s huts.
A NEW BE-GIN-NING
Whitby Distillery, producers of Whitby Gin
have received approval for a £1.5 million
plan to renovate two derelict barns on the
south-west corner of the Whitby Abbey
grounds. Transforming the buildings into a
new distillery, will include renewable energy
sources to house a new hand-beaten still, a
tasting kitchen and event space soaked in
history. Green roofs will be planted with wild
flowers to nurture the natural plants and
wildlife.
MARKET TOWN
Inspirational ideas for Christmas lunch
creations or the perfect pressie, Barnsley
Market is home to over 90 stalls fronted
