About

Cayton ward encompasses the coastal village of Cayton and surrounding rural farmland on the Yorkshire coast, south of Scarborough. The area is primarily residential and agricultural, with a landscape of open fields leading to cliffs. Its coastline includes Cayton Bay, a broad, sandy beach known locally for surfing conditions. The village centre has essential services, with housing spreading inland from the original core.

A significant feature is the presence of the former RAF Cayton radar station, a historical Cold War site on the outskirts. The area's economy is linked to tourism, agriculture, and commuting to Scarborough. Walking paths follow the cliff tops, providing views across the bay, while the rural hinterland contains several isolated farms and caravan parks situated on the higher ground.
