Clayhole offers a quiet, close-knit setting surrounded by rolling hills and creek valleys, with KY 476 linking the community to Jackson and Hazard for shopping, dining, and larger events. Many homes enjoy generous lots, room for gardens, and trail access, while commuters appreciate the easy reach of services in Breathitt County.
Families are served by Breathitt County Schools, including countywide programs and extracurriculars rooted in pride for local athletics and the arts. For higher education and workforce training, the Lees College Campus of Hazard Community and Technical College in nearby Jackson offers convenient programs in nursing, technology, and skilled trades—an advantage for both recent graduates and career changers.
Weekends can mean casting a line at Buckhorn Lake, hiking shaded ridges, or launching a boat from the marina at Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park. Healthcare needs are covered close to home by Kentucky River Medical Center in Jackson, with emergency services and specialty clinics. Seasonal festivals, Friday night ballgames, and local craft markets keep the calendar lively, while trails and waterways offer year-round ways to unwind in the Appalachian foothills.
