About

Wheatcroft and Cayton sit within the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, with Cayton forming the main village and Wheatcroft a small cluster of farms and houses inland from the coast. The area blends residential streets with working farmland, where straight field boundaries and hedgerows mark an agricultural pattern. Local life centres on a village hub with a primary school and community facilities, and lanes link the settlements to neighbouring parishes without urban sprawl.

The coast at Cayton Bay lies immediately to the east of the village, with a shore of sand and shingle backed by low cliffs that show layers of glacial and marine deposits in places. Public footpaths and bridleways run from village lanes down to the clifftop, offering direct views across the North Sea and access for walkers and birdwatchers. Farming, caravan sites and pockets of scrubland meet the shoreline, and storm-driven tides periodically reveal fragments of the sediments that make up the bay.
