The 'map' link above will take you to Google local where you can zoom in and out of the map at Fotherdale Farm as well as printing it. You can also put in your own address for very accurate directions from your door to ours! It's very clever indeed! When you have finished looking at the map, just close the new map window. Our website will still be there behind it!

This is 'Langton Road'. Continue along the road out of the village of Norton. Go straight over the crossroads still following the signs to Birdsall. Go through the village of Birdsall and out the other side. Take the first left to Thixendale. Follow this winding road into the village of Thixendale. Go through the village of Thixendale.

Travelling from the North or from the A1
You can either travel around York's north ringroad and then take the A64 to York & Leeds and then turn off onto the A166 to Bridlington. The north ring road can get very busy and there are lots of roundabouts. Or, although it is further in mileage, Victoria & I would travel down the A1 until you hit the A64 to York & then follow the 'Travelling from Leeds' directions. This is marginally quicker as it is dual carriage all the way until the A166 & much less stressful!

Travelling from the South
You can come off the M62 at Howden & follow the signs to Pocklington. Then follow the directions above 'Travelling from Pocklington'
Or, you can travel up the M1 & take the new A1/M1 link road signposted to York. Take the A64 to York & then follow the directions above for 'Travelling from Leeds.'
