Clapham cum Newby is a small rural civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, set within the southern reaches of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The parish centres on the villages of Clapham and Newby and is dominated by the impressive bulk of Ingleborough, giving it a dramatic upland character and a strong sense of place.
The area is noted for classic limestone scenery - pavements, sinkholes and showcaves - and for nearby showcaves such as Ingleborough Cave and the famous pothole Gaping Gill, which together help make tourism and outdoor pursuits central to the local economy alongside traditional hill farming. The built environment reflects its history, with stone cottages, a long-established parish church and a handful of historic houses, while an active community caters for walkers, cavers and visitors looking to explore the southern Dales.
