Haxby is bordered on the east by the River Foss, and to the west by the village of Wigginton, another community that has seen tremendous growth in the last thirty years, so much so that the two now merge seamlessly into each other. To the south is the garden village of New Earswick and the north York bypass, to the north open farmland runs up to the village of Sutton on the Forest.
