'''Rillington''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in [[North Yorkshire]], England.

Rillington was mentioned in the [[Domesday]] Survey in 1086 and rural life was relatively unchanged until the coming of the railway in 1845.

The village has two pubs the Coach and Horses and
The Fleece, both are located next to St Andrew's Church and the A64.

==Transport==
Rillington is on the [[A64 road]], approximately {{convert|3|mi|0}} east of [[Malton, North Yorkshire|Malton]] and south-west of [[Scarborough, North Yorkshire|Scarborough]].

A regular [[Yorkshire Coastliner]] bus service providing connections to Scarborough, Malton, York and Leeds is operated by [[Transdev Blazefield]].

From 1845 until 1930 the village was served by a [[Rillington railway station|railway station]] which connected Rillington on the [[York to Scarborough Line]].<ref>{{Butt-Stations}}</ref> Special trains continued until the 1960s, although the station has now been demolished.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freespace.virgin.net/owston.tj/rillingt.htm|title=Rillington - an East Yorkshire village|date=October 2007|accessdate=8 November 2008|last=Owston|first=Timothy|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621000317/http://freespace.virgin.net/owston.tj/rillingt.htm|archivedate=21 June 2009 }}</ref>
