Skidby is a small rural parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, sitting on the fringe of the Yorkshire Wolds with easy commuter links into Hull. It feels like a traditional farming community with a compact village core, lanes and hedgerows, and a mix of long‑standing agricultural activity and small local businesses serving residents and visitors.
The parish is best known for the restored Skidby windmill, home to the Museum of East Riding Rural Life, which gives a vivid sense of the area’s milling and farming past and affords wide views over the Humber Estuary towards the Humber Bridge. Regular events, a modest visitor trade and active local groups help keep community life lively while the surrounding countryside remains the dominant influence on local character and economy.
