It is located close to Little Driffield, where King Aldfrith of Northumbria was reputedly buried, and it is also very close to Nafferton, Hutton Cranswick and Wansford.

The town contains a modest community hospital, small fire station, police force 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 fairly small high street. There is also an area of parkland near the parish church next to the stream, Driffield Beck, that runs roughly parallel to the high street.
