Skellow sits on the edge of the Magnesian Limestone ridge, just six miles north of Doncaster. Historically a quiet farming hamlet, the layout of the old village is still visible around Skellow Hall and the original stone cottages before it opens out into the more extensive housing developed during the 20th century to serve the local mining industry. It is a practical location for those who need to travel; the A1(M) runs right past the western edge of the village, providing a direct link to the northern and southern motorway networks. Daily life tends to revolve around the local shops along Skelow Road, and there is a decent amount of green space nearby, including the reclaimed land of the former Bullcroft Colliery which now serves as a community park. While it has grown into a busy residential suburb, it retains a distinct sense of separation from the main Doncaster urban sprawl, bordered by open fields that stretch out towards Owston and Burghwallis.
