Wetwang is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, set in the rolling chalk landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds a few miles west of the market town of Driffield. The locality has long rural roots and some archaeological interest, with prehistoric and Roman finds reported in the surrounding countryside, giving the place a quietly layered history against farmland and winding lanes.
Today Wetwang retains a character typical of Wolds villages, with an economy largely centred on agriculture alongside local services and a close-knit community life; its unusual name also draws light-hearted curiosity from visitors. Its position offers straightforward access to nearby towns while preserving the tranquil, pastoral feel of this part of England.
