Skelton is a small village in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the western edge of the North York Moors and within easy reach of landmarks such as Roseberry Topping. It lies a short drive from the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Redcar, and many residents commute into the wider Teesside and Middlesbrough employment area.
The village has a strong industrial past tied to 19th‑century ironstone mining, which shaped its terraces and community; traces of that heritage sit alongside older country estate elements such as Skelton Castle. Today Skelton feels like a classic rural community with local pubs, a village hall and green spaces, while offering easy access to moorland walks and coastal amenities.
