Clophill Tourist Information |

Lying in the Vale of the River flit, surrounded by woodlands is the village of Clophill. Entrance to the village from the A6, takes you past the Flying Horse pub, an important station during the stage coach era. Legend has it Dick Turpin stopped here on his famous ride en route to York. The village green is edged by a number of listed buildings and is the location for the old village lock up and pound. Clophill was a village renowned for the art of straw plaiting used to make straw boater hats.
