The village is effectively divided into East and West Foxley by the A1067 road that was built as a bypass of it and the nearby village of Bawdeswell. The nearest rail station is at Norwich while the nearest major shopping complex is located in Holt, roughly 14 miles north of the village.

Much of the nearby northern sea coast is part of the Norfolk Coast AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The community of Cromer, on the coast, is approximately 40 minutes from Foxley by automobile; Hunstanton, also on the coast (but further north), is a slightly longer drive.[3][4]
