Rylstone is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, set on the limestone moors and valleys typical of the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. The landscape of drystone walls, pastures and small woodlands makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter rural base, with quiet lanes linking to nearby villages and market towns.

The community remains largely agricultural, centred on sheep and mixed farming and supplemented by holiday lets and small-scale tourism; local social life often revolves around the village hall and occasional rural events. Its long rural history is visible in stone cottages, field patterns and evidence of past quarrying, giving Rylstone a strong village identity despite limited amenities.
