Riston is a small, mainly rural civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, situated a few miles north of Hull and within easy reach of Beverley. It sits on the low-lying agricultural plain typical of this part of the county, with lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of traditional farmsteads that give the area a distinctly villagey character.
Local life revolves around farming and the commuter trade into nearby towns, while the parish has historic roots stretching back centuries and contains a number of older buildings and farm complexes of local interest. Residents value the quiet community atmosphere and the convenience of being close to the rolling Yorkshire Wolds and the Holderness coastline for day trips and outdoor activities.
