A historic village south-west of Beverley, known for its landmark working windmill and open views from the Wolds edge.
Skidby is an East Riding village south-west of Beverley, positioned on higher ground at the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds near Cottingham.
A historic village centre, traditional houses and the landmark working windmill give Skidby a strong identity and far-reaching views.
Skidby occupies elevated ground on the edge of the Wolds, allowing wide views across Holderness and the Humber plain. The working windmill is a prominent landmark and an important part of the village's identity.
Historic streets, church and traditional houses form a clear centre, with later homes extending around it. Farmland remains close, and routes towards Little Weighton and Cottingham keep the countryside accessible.
