Rylstone is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated very near to Cracoe and about 6 miles south west of Grassington.
Rylstone railway station opened in 1902, closed to passengers in 1930, and closed completely in 1969.
The members of Rylstone and District Women's Institute were the inspiration for the 2003 film Calendar Girls, although the film was shot based in nearby Kettlewell.

Rylstone is referenced in the poem entitled The White Doe of Rylstone by William Wordsworth. [2]
