About Carlton

The quiet charm of Carlton is deeply rooted in its pastoral setting. It lies 7.2 km west-south-west of Middleham (from Middleham: bearing 244°T, OS grid SE 062 845), and is situated north-west of West Scrafton village. This small hamlet, part of the wider Yorkshire Dales National Park, benefits from the dramatic beauty of its surroundings, with rolling green fields and distant heather-clad moorland shaping the local character. Historically, like many settlements in this region, Carlton would have been intrinsically linked to agriculture, with farming practices shaping the landscape and the lives of its inhabitants for centuries. The presence of ancient drystone walls crisscrossing the fields is a testament to this enduring heritage. While Carlton itself may not boast grand structures, its peaceful existence offers a glimpse into the enduring rural traditions of North Yorkshire.
