Gilling East is a small village and civil parish in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, tucked on the southern edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish sits amid rolling limestone hills and small streams that feed the River Rye, giving it a pleasantly rural, well‑wooded setting popular with walkers and nature lovers.

The village has a long history centred on its fortified manor, Gilling Castle, and a modest medieval parish church, and the local economy remains chiefly agricultural with a sprinkling of tourism and commuters travelling to nearby market towns such as Malton or further afield to York. Social life tends to be village‑focused, with community events and local groups sustaining a close‑knit feel despite its proximity to larger centres.
