The River Avon flows through the village. Near the river is the remains of a Norman Motte-and-bailey castle (Brandon Castle). One of the most notable features in the village is a railway Viaduct which dates from the 1830s , and was part of the original London And Birmingham Railway , the viaduct separates Wolston from the village of Brandon . The village contains a Primary School , library, and a small selection of shops and pubs, and is close to the A45 Road and the Foss Way . Wolston once had a Railway Station on the Rugby-Coventry line, but this was closed. although one of the platforms can still be seen. Periodic calls are made to re-open the station. Wolston also has a wood (or forest). The main area has been converted into a dirt track (for the BMX-ers). Further down in the woods, there is a picturesque area with a river and an incline (known to locals as the full-drop). There are ruins of a coal mine further along down the area.
