Wheatcroft & Cayton

About

Wheatcroft & Cayton is a small rural area located in North Yorkshire, near the town of Scarborough. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows, and scattered woodlands, typical of the Yorkshire Wolds. The area is primarily agricultural, with a mix of arable fields and livestock farming. A few quiet lanes connect the scattered farms and cottages, offering views of the surrounding countryside.

The nearby village of Cayton provides local amenities, including a primary school, a church, and a handful of shops. The area is within easy reach of Scarborough’s coastal attractions, while retaining a quiet, rural atmosphere. Walking routes through the farmland and nearby Cayton Bay offer opportunities for outdoor recreation. The lack of major development preserves the area’s traditional farming character.
