Foxholes is a quaint country village situated in a valley in the Northern Yorkshire Wolds, and is a mixture of houses, farms and farm buildings.  The church of St Mary was erected in 1866 in Norman style and stands on the edge of the village on the road to Ganton.

There are no pubs in the village but the nearby villages of Ganton, Weaverthorpe,  Kilham, Thwing and Flixton all have pubs that serve good food. 

For local entertainment, there are cinemas in both Scarborough and Bridlington.  There is also a small arts cinema in Scarborough which regularly shows films from around the world. The Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough is the UK home of Alan Ayckbourn and other playwrights. 

Top UK wildlife artist Robert E Fuller has his own gallery just outside the small village of Thixendale between Pocklington and Malton.  The gallery is open to visitors Monday to Saturday 11am until 4.30pm.  Log onto the following website to have a look at his paintings: www.RobertEFuller.com.

The Ryedale Festival, one of North Yorkshire's finest art festivals, takes place every July in venues throughout North Yorkshire such as Castle Howard, Sledmere House and the Memorial Hall in Pickering. 

Further afield, but within an hour's drive of Manor Farmhouse, are the evening ghost walks around York or Whitby.

For all you keen golfers, the renowned Ganton Golf Club is only 4 miles away.
