Hayton is a village in the Cumberland unitary authority area of Cumbria, England. It is the only settlement in the civil parish of Hayton and Mealo.[2] Historically located in Cumberland, and on a minor road between the B5300 and the A596, it is approximately 2 miles from the coast. Nearby settlements include the town of Aspatria and the villages of Oughterside and Prospect. A small tributary called Patten Beck runs across the village, through the grounds of the castle.[3]
