Cloughton
Cloughton (/ˈklaʊtən/ KLAU-tən) is a small village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. The civil parish stretches over 3 miles (4.8 km) to the north of the village, 2 miles (3.2 km) to the west, 0.6 miles (0.97 km) to the south, and 1 mile (1.6 km) to the coast to the east. It includes the hamlet of Cloughton Newlands about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the main village.
Much of the civil parish, but not the village itself, lies within the North York Moors National Park. The Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate of the British sovereign, owns 2,375 acres (961 ha) of land in Cloughton, together with several businesses.
According to the 2011 UK census, the civil parish of Cloughton had a population of 687, a reduction on the 2001 UK census figure of 711. It has an area of 5.06 square miles (13.1 km2).
The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Cloctune, and translates from Old English as the town (tūn) in the valley (clōh). Historically the village was in the wapentake of Pickering Lythe in the North Riding of Yorkshire.
There has been a church in Cloughton since mediaeval times, but the existing St Mary's Church dates from 1831, when its predecessor was demolished. In the same year, Cloughton became part of the parish of Scalby, along with Burniston, Newby, Staintondale and Throxenby. In 1874, Cloughton was formed into its own chapelry with Burniston and Staintondale. In 1889, St Mary's Church was restored and extended.
In 1974, Cloughton became part of the Borough of Scarborough. In 2023, the borough was abolished, and the parish became part of the unitary authority area of North Yorkshire, which is a subset of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.
In terms of local government, local services are delivered by a mixture of Cloughton Parish Council and North Yorkshire Council. In those parts of the parish that are in the North York Moors National Park, the National Park Authority is the legal planning authority, but in the rest of the parish, North Yorkshire Council has that role.
Nationally, Cloughton forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Scarborough and Whitby.
