Bayton Parish Council represents the villages of Bayton (including Nineveh and Shakenhurst), most of Clows Top, all of Bayton Common and part of Beach Hay. The total number of electors on the current Electoral Register is 434. The total number of houses is 220. Bayton borders Shropshire and Clee Hill can be viewed from many roads running through the Parish.

There is a fine Norman Church and Clows Top has a well maintained Mission Room by the side of the B4202 on the western side of the village. Bayton has a Junior School and Preschool Nursery; both are very busy places, situated in a lovely part of the Parish. Clows Top retained its PO and Shop, and is also fortunate to have a Butchers shop which sources local meat.

The Village Hall in Bayton is well used by the School and local people.
