Foggathorpe is a small, rural civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, sitting on the low-lying agricultural plain of the Humberhead Levels. The landscape is dominated by drained arable fields, dykes and scattered farmsteads rather than dense development, giving it a quiet, pastoral character typical of the county's hinterland.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural, and the community is small and close‑knit with a village hall and historic farm buildings clustered around a modest village core. The settlement has roots stretching back centuries and once had a station on the Selby–Driffield line, so there are echoes of former rural transport links alongside contemporary commuting to nearby market towns; a few listed houses and a parish church hint at its longer history.
