Driffield and Rural is a mixed urban–rural ward centred on the market town of Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, with rolling chalk hills and productive farmland that keep agriculture prominent alongside local shops, small manufacturing and a modest commuter population.
The area retains a strong market‑town character with weekly markets and annual agricultural events, a compact historic centre of Georgian and Victorian streets, and an active community life around village halls, pubs and clubs. Good rail links on the Hull–Scarborough line and easy access to Wolds walking routes make it attractive for residents seeking rural living with reasonable connections to regional centres.
