About

Driffield West covers the western side of Driffield town and the surrounding farmland. The town developed as a market centre and retains a weekly market and a railway station on the line linking the town with the coast and Hull. Local facilities include shops, schools and a showground on the town’s edge where the annual Driffield Show brings livestock, machinery and trade stands from farms across the locality. Small industrial and service employers sit alongside horticultural and arable holdings that supply the local trade and market activity.

Huggate lies on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, set among rolling chalk fields, hedgerows and dry valleys. The village has a single main street, a parish church and a village pub that serve scattered farms and hamlets on the surrounding wolds. A network of lanes and public footpaths links Huggate with the ridge-top viewpoints and lower-lying arable land, used by walkers, farm vehicles and local riders. Land use here is mainly arable and grazing, with field patterns that reflect long-established parish boundaries.
