It is located close to Little Driffield, where King Aldfrith of Northumbria was reputedly buried, and it is also extremely close to Nafferton, Hutton Cranswick and Wansford. Driffield is described as the 'Capital of the Wolds', largely because of its favourable location in between Bridlington, Beverley and York.

The town features a modest community healthcare facility, small fire station, law enforcement and ambulance stations, a number of churches, with the largest being All Saints' Parish Church, whose bells were brought back for the millennium, and a relatively small high street. There is also an area of parkland by the parish church next to the stream, Driffield Beck, that runs roughly parallel to the high street.
