Littlebeck is a hamlet, near Whitby, in North Yorkshire,
The Hermitage. It is in fact a folly and was carved out of the rock about 1760 by an out of work seaman on the instructions of the local schoolmaster George Chubb. 2 wishing chairs were placed on the top of the Hermitage, it is said that if you made a wish in one, you must then sit in the other one to make it come true.
