Driffield is a market town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, often called the capital of the Yorkshire Wolds. It sits at the head of the River Hull, giving a pleasant mix of rolling countryside and a compact town centre centred around the medieval St Mary's Church.
Agriculture remains important to the local economy and the town hosts one of the region’s largest agricultural shows alongside a lively weekly market, independent shops and cafés. Good rail links to Hull and Scarborough, and the nearby former wartime airfield RAF Driffield, add transport and historical interest to the community.
