All these images are for sale high resolution Driffield, East
Yorkshire, also known as Great Driffield, is a
market town in the East Riding of Yorkshire,
England.
Driffield lies in the Yorkshire Wolds, on the
Driffield Navigation (canal), and near the
source of the River Hull. Driffield lies on the
A614, A166 and B1249, and on the Yorkshire Coast
rail line from Bridlington to Hull. It is
situated next to Little Driffield, where
Aldfrith of Northumbria was buried, and is also
very close to Nafferton, Hutton Cranswick and
Wansford. Driffield is named the Capital of the
Wolds, mainly through virtue of its favourable
location between Bridlington, Beverley and York.
The town is served by Driffield railway station
on the Yorkshire Coast Line.
Driffield contains a small community hospital,
small Fire, Police and Ambulance Stations,
several churches - the largest being the All
Saints Parish Church, whose bells were restored
for the millennium, - and a fairly small high
street. There is also an area of parkland close
to the parish church alongside the stream
(Driffield Beck) that runs roughly parallel to
the high street.
There are a two infant schools, one larger
primary school (Driffield Junior School), and a
fairly large secondary school, known simply as
Driffield School. Driffield School contains a
sixth form, and so offers education up to A
level standard.
