CLAYTHORPE, a hamlet in that part of the parish of BURTON in KENDAL which is in LONSDALE ward, county of WESTMORLAND, 1 mile (N. E. by N.) from Burton in Kendal, with which the population is returned. About a mile from the village is Farlton Knot, a huge limestone mountain, resembling in form the rock of Gibraltar: on the edge of another mountain is a natural curiosity, called Claythorpe Glints, consisting of a limestone rock, forming an inclined plain to the horizon, deeply rent in many places by the supposed ebbing of a great body of water, or the retiring of the ocean, by which it is conjectured that this, with some other plains in the neighbourhood, was once covered.
