This article is about the English village near Scarborough. For the former Cayton near Harrogate, see South Stainley. For the former Cayton in China, see Quanzhou.
Cayton is mentioned in the Domesday book as "Caitune".
In 2010, Cayton won a Silver-gilt, at the Britain in Bloom awards. This was achieved despite earlier sabotage attacks on a number of flower beds in the village.[2]
The village sent 45 men to the First World War, and 60 to the Second. There was not a single fatality amongst the combined 105 men, with only one soldier suffering a serious injury during the First World War, then being subsequently spared by a German Officer.[2]
Cayton Bay Landslideedit
In April 2008, a major landslip caused tons of earth to slip down the cliff side at the edge of Cayton Bay close to Osgodby,[3] leaving bungalows on the Knipe Point estate teetering on the edge of the cliff.[4] The slope movements, caused by water seeping through the clay cliffs,[5] resulted in three properties being demolished and other properties in the Knipe Point Estate and the A165 Filey Road being threatened.[6] A number of the remaining homes are still at risk as the slope and the National Trust land below it are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI); despite an initial outlay of £90,000[7] by Scarborough Borough Council and the National Trust an engineered solution could not be found that would satisfy the technical, environmental and cost-effective criteria set by Natural England, the Environment Agency and Defra.[8]
Cayton County Primary School educates pupils aged 4 to 11 years.
Cayton Bay forms one of a series of large sweeping sandy bays on the edge of the North Yorkshire National Park which run from Bridlington in the south to Whitby in the north. There is a surf shop and car park on the cliff tops above the bay.
