Fyling Hall is a private,[1] co-educational day and boarding school[2] situated near the small village of Fylingthorpe, near Robin Hood's Bay, 7 miles (11 km) south east of Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1923 by Mab Bradley, the school was then run for thirty years by her daughter, Clare White.[3] The school is centred on a Georgian country house that dates from 1819 and is situated in 45 acres (180,000 m2) of wooded hillside within the North York Moors National Park.
