Map of the UK

The civil parish of Hayton lies in the north of Nottinghamshire within the district of Bassetlaw, a few miles north‑west of Retford and close to the winding River Idle. It includes the village of Hayton and the small hamlet of Tiln, set in gently undulating arable countryside punctuated by hedgerows and small copses.

Locally the character is quietly rural: farming remains important, complemented by people who commute to nearby towns such as Gainsborough or Doncaster. The area shows traces of older settlement in the form of a parish church and a handful of historic cottages and farmsteads, and community life revolves around village events and the landscape rather than any large commercial centre in England.
