Wolston is a village and civil parish in the borough of Rugby, in Warwickshire, central England. Lying a few miles west of the town of Rugby, it keeps a distinctly rural feel while also functioning as a commuter settlement for the surrounding towns and the West Midlands.
The village has medieval roots and a number of older, listed buildings clustered around a traditional centre; its history is largely agricultural but today is marked by a mix of local shops, a pub, a primary school and active community groups. The surrounding lanes and countryside make it popular with walkers and cyclists, and local events and clubs help sustain a strong village social life despite modern housing and commuting patterns.
