Description
The attractive village of Great Ayton (population 6000) is centred on the banks of the River Leven. It is ancient in origin, having several Neolithic sites within the parish boundary, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In former times its industries included linen making, tanning and brewing; and the mining industries of whinstone (a hard igneous rock used in roadmaking), ironstone, alum and jet were important locally.
The navigator and explorer, Captain James Cook spent his boyhood in the village.
