Clayton-le-Dale is a village and civil parish^[1] situated on the A59 road near Blackburn, in Lancashire, England. The village is in the Ribble Valley local government district.

The parish is mainly agricultural^[1] however like many places in the UK since the foot-and-mouth crisis in 2001 many local businesses have started to diversify, for example Dowsons started making ice cream on their dairy farm^[2] and supplying Asda and Booths supermarkets, as well as producing unusual flavours of ice cream including black pudding flavour.^[3]

Other examples of diversification in Clayton-le-Dale include tourism, and the development of industrial units in the village^[4].
