It is located near Little Driffield, where King Aldfrith of Northumbria was reputedly buried, and it is also quite near to Nafferton, Hutton Cranswick and Wansford. Driffield is referred to as the 'Capital of the Wolds', for the most part because of its favourable location in between Bridlington, Beverley and York.

The town incorporates a small community healthcare facility, modest fire station, police force and ambulance stations, numerous 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 next to the parish church along the side of the stream, Driffield Beck, that runs roughly parallel to the high street.
