Follifoot is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the A658 road and south-east from the town centre of Harrogate.
==History== The village name is derived from Old Norse translating as "place of the horse fight" and the village has a long association with horse sports. Follifoot is not listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, and the earliest known record is as Pholifet in the 12th century. Anglo-Saxon remains have been discovered in and near to the village, and an Anglian cross is displayed at the crossroads at the top of the village.
