Broxa Village

Broxa is a village in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England, within the North York Moors National Park. The village is 6.2 miles (10 km) west of Scarborough, at an elevation of 531 feet (162 m). The River Derwent is 1,600 feet (500 m) west of the village.Whilst some 12th century documents mention Broxa (in relation to land granted by the abbot of Whitby), the village was not listed in the Domesday Book. It is thought that it was included in the manor of Hackness. The name of the village derives from a personal name Broce, meaning the enclosure of Broce's people.To the north of the village is Broxa Forest, a 1,527 acres (618 ha) woodland maintained by Forestry England which has walking and cycling trails. The Moors to Sea Cycle route passes through the village and the forest.
