The Yew Alley

Also known as the famous yew alley, the alley.

The famous hedged walk at Baskerville Hall where the late Sir Charles took his nightly stroll, and at the far end of which he was found dead.

Chapter III. The Problem

Holmes draws out its plan: two lines of old yew twelve feet high, an eight-foot walk between them, a padlocked moor-gate halfway down where Sir Charles stood waiting, and a summer-house at the end he never reached.

Chapter VI. Baskerville Hall

On arrival it is pointed out to the new heir as the walk, on the far side of the Hall, where his uncle met his death.

Chapter VIII. First Report of Dr. Watson

Dr. Mortimer revisits it with the party to show exactly how Sir Charles died, a long gloomy tunnel between the hedges with the white moor-gate halfway and the cigar-ash beside it.

Chapter XV. A Retrospection

In Holmes's full account the hound sprang the wicket-gate into the alley and ran Sir Charles down it, keeping to the grass so that only the man's prints showed.
