What are the surrounding near baskerville hall explain

I think the major idea is that Baskerville Hall is rural and remote. There are very few houses within a five miles of the place. The house is surrounded by woods, but there is a Yew Alley adjacent to it. When Watson describes the hall:

Suddenly we looked down into a cup-like depression, patched with stunted oaks and firs which had been twisted and bent by the fury of years of storm. Two high, narrow towers rose over the trees. (p. 42)
