Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe is a small village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, sited beneath the escarpment from which it takes its name. It sits on the fringe of the Howardian Hills and within easy reach of the North York Moors, offering wide views over the surrounding countryside and a popular base for walkers exploring lanes and bridleways towards the market town of Thirsk.
The settlement has a long rural history, centred on farming and equestrian activity, and retains a strong village community around its parish church and hall. It’s also often remarked upon for being the longest hyphenated place name in England, a quirky local claim to fame alongside its quietly scenic setting.
