Skirlaugh is a small village and civil parish set on slightly higher ground in the eastern part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, a few miles north‑east of Hull and overlooking the low-lying Holderness plain. The setting gives it a quiet, rural feel with surrounding arable farmland and a compact village core of houses, a school and village hall, making it both an agricultural community and a dormitory for people working in the nearby city.
Locally there are visible echoes of its long history in a substantial parish church and in the footprint of a former rural rail link, while social life is animated by community groups and a notably successful amateur rugby league club that draws people together from the wider area. Economically the parish remains rooted in farming, but its position close to urban amenities means a mixed population of farming families and commuters, and a character that blends traditional village life with modern links to Hull.
