Clareton

Clareton is a hamlet in North Yorkshire, England. Since the 24th of March 1888 it has shared a civil parish with the neighbouring village of Coneythorpe, to the southwest. Its name is said to come from the meeting place, a local hill, of the ancient Wapentake of Claro.
Unlike Coneythorpe, Clareton is recorded in the Domesday Book. In 1066 Clareton was worth £10, but by 1086 only £2 15s., with much of the land being waste following the Harrying of the North.
Until 1974 the hamlet was within the West Riding of Yorkshire, and, until 2023, Clareton was then part of the Borough of Harrogate. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
