Baskerville Hall
Also known as the Hall.
The ancestral seat of the Baskervilles on Dartmoor, where the late Sir Charles lived and died. A great old country house with a famous yew alley, it belongs to a line said to be cursed, and is in danger of standing untenanted unless its heir comes down to live there.

It sits at the centre of Holmes's ordnance map, ringed by wood, with the moor close upon one side and the yew alley running along it.
