Rudston is a small village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, set in the gentle chalk slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds. It feels typically rural, with a landscape of arable fields and rolling hills that make it popular with walkers and those interested in quiet countryside views rather than bustling tourism.
Despite its size, Rudston is best known for the impressive Rudston Monolith standing in the churchyard of St Andrew's Church - the tallest standing stone in England - and for the surrounding Neolithic and Bronze Age barrows that make the area important to archaeologists. The local economy is largely agricultural with a modest boost from visitors and a close-knit village community centred on the parish church and occasional local events.
