Welcome to Foxwood Farm

frontview Foxwood Farm

Foxwood Farm is a 17th century dwelling, modernised to accommodate small or large groups who wish to enjoy time in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It offers single party, self-catering accommodation for groups of up to 18 people.

The Farm is located in the small hamlet of Newhouses about half a mile north of Horton in Ribblesdale and is surrounded by the Three Peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside. A footpath leads from Newhouses to the Pennine Way on the slopes of Pen-y-Ghent. Horton is the start and finish point for the famous Three Peaks Walk and Fell Race. You can find links to all these attractions below.

There is immediate access to some of the finest walking and caving countryside in Britain. The Settle-Carlisle Railway is less than a mile away, and the area as a whole can inspire any number of different outdoor interest groups. Equally, family, professional and support groups find it a great location for being together.

About Us


The Friends of Foxwood Farm is a registered charity who maintain and develop Foxwood Farm. The aim of the Friends is to offer the opportunity to young people in east Leeds, through local schools and other youth groups, to experience the social and educational benefits of a residential stay in an area which is in contrast to the urban environment in which they live. To fund its work the charity hires the Farm to outside groups throughout the year.

Foxwood Farm was bought in the sixties by the Parent Teacher Association of Foxwood School in Leeds, to be used by the school as a centre for school field trips, study groups and outdoor activities. It is not unusal to meet people locally who are introduced to the area through Foxwood School since literally thousands of young people will have enjoyed memorable experiences in the Dales during their school days. The Farm was modernised in 1988 and was donated to The Friends of Foxwood Farm in 1996 when the school was closed. Read More
