Great Langton
The village lies on the B6271 road, between Scorton and Northallerton, on the northern bank of the River Swale and it was once known as Langton-upon-Swale.The village is a short distance from Kiplin Hall, the stately home built by George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, the founder of Maryland.Farming would have greatly increased and caused significant changes in the fluvial sediment regime through woodland clearance and colluvial hillwash.[citation needed] According to the Köppen classification the British Isles experience a maritime climate characterised by relatively cool summers and mild winters.Compared with other parts of the country, North Yorkshire is slightly warmer and sunnier in the summer and colder and frostier in the winter.Owing to its inland position, and sheltered by the Pennines to the west, North Yorkshire is one of the driest counties in the UK, receiving, on average, less than 600 mm (24 in) of rain per year.In the winter, the presence of a subsidence inversion between the Pennines and the North York Moors can allow dense, persistent fog to form that can last for several days.
