Rillington is on the A64 road, approximately 3 miles east of Malton and south-west of Scarborough.
From 1845 until 1930 the village was served by a railway station which connected Rillington on the York to Scarborough Line. Special trains continued until the 1960s, although the station has now been demolished.
