Map of the UK

The village and civil parish of Cloughton sits on the North Yorkshire coast a few miles north of Scarborough, on the fringe of the North York Moors. It occupies a mix of clifftop and agricultural landscape with coastal footpaths and moorland views, making it popular with walkers and visitors looking for a quieter base near the sea.

Historically a small farming community with traditional stone houses and a parish church, the local economy now blends agriculture, tourism and commuters working in nearby towns. The village retains a strong community feel with a pub, village hall and seasonal events, and is prized for its rural character and conservation-minded approach to development in England.
