Claxton is a traditional rural village with a red telephone box alongside a small village green with a planted area commemorating the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and a circular Millenium seat surrounding an oak tree. A Victorian post box sits next to the bus stop. The village is largely surrounded by farmland with woodlands nearby, and the Yorkshire Wolds and the North York Moors are visible from high spots in the parish. Sand Hutton Primary School and Huntington School fall within catchment, and the excellent independent schools in York lie within comfortable reach. Vangarde and Monks Cross can be reached within fifteen minutes’ drive. The village lies to the south of the A64 York-to-Malton trunk road, giving easy access to the A1(M) and Leeds as well as to York with its railway station offering high speed rail links to London Kings Cross. Immediately to the north and east of Claxton lie the AONB Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds.
