Carlton is a village in the civil parish of Carlton Town in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. According to the 2011 Census it had a population of 232.[1] Carlton Town, the formal name of the civil parish, distinguishes the parish from the adjacent civil parish of Carlton Highdale, historically part of the manor of Carlton.[2] The village is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, near the River Cover in Coverdale.
Carlton is the largest village in Coverdale and it has a public house, the Forester's Arms, and a village hall. It was also home to the "Coverdale Bard", Henry Constantine, and an 1861 inscription in his memory is above the entrance to Flatts Farm.[3]
In 2011 the Forrester's Arms was purchased by the local community.[4]
To the east is the medieval motte of Carlton Castle.
