Marton-cum-Moxby is a small, quietly rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, a short distance north of York. The landscape is largely agricultural, made up of scattered farms and a few hamlets, and it has a very small resident population with limited local services, giving the area a tranquil, unhurried character.
Its chief points of interest are historic: the site of Moxby Priory and surviving earthworks hint at a medieval monastic past, while field patterns and farmsteads reflect centuries of agricultural use. The parish appeals to walkers and history enthusiasts looking for off-the-beaten-track heritage rather than village amenities or commercial centres.
