Dist:0.4km<br/>Skillington has a large open area in the centre with a large village green. There are good vistas down village lanes and streets with plenty of substantial limestone cottages and houses. The Blue Horse pub had tables out on the green and several people were enjoying the late afternoon April sunshine.
