Skelton, York

Skelton forms part of York's northwestern suburbs, positioned along the A19 about seven kilometres from the city centre. The village connects easily to York via the A19 through Clifton, whilst the nearby A1237 ring road links to the A64 and M62 for longer journeys. Local routes serve the Poppletons and Shipton through quiet country lanes across the Vale of York's flat farmland. With approximately 80 public fast chargers around greater York, EV drivers are well catered for. The village's 12th-century Christ the Consoler church stands out for its magnesian limestone construction and unusually named dedication.
