Map of the UK

Norton-le-Clay is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, sitting in a quiet, predominantly agricultural landscape within the Hambleton area. The name reflects the clay-rich soils underfoot and the settlement still has the compact, rural feel of scattered farms, stone cottages and lanes that characterise this part of the county.

Its history stretches back centuries and the village retains a low-key community life centred on local amenities and connections with nearby market towns; farming remains an important part of the local economy while good road links make it a peaceful base for commuters and visitors exploring the wider Yorkshire countryside.
