It is situated between Driffield and Bridlington approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) west of Bridlington, and lies on the B1253 road. The Gypsey Race (an intermittent stream) runs through the village, which lies in the Great Wold Valley. There are a number of Neolithic sites associated with the stream and its valley. It is the current Seat of the Clan Macdonald of Sleat, the head of the family residing at Thorpe Hall.

From the medieval era until the 19th century Rudston was part of Dickering Wapentake.[3] Between 1894 and 1974 Rudston was a part of the Bridlington Rural District, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.[4] From 1974 it was part of the Borough of North Wolds (later Borough of East Yorkshire), in the county of Humberside until the East Riding was re-established in 1996.
