Skipton South is a residential area situated directly south of the town centre, primarily composed of housing estates that developed through the 20th century. The streets are arranged in a mix of traditional terraces and semi-detached homes, with local shopping parades providing essential services. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal forms a distinct western boundary, with paths leading towards the town's historic castle and bustling high street.

A notable local feature is the Airedale Hospital, a major employer and healthcare hub for the wider region. The area is practical and well-connected, with the railway station providing regular services to Leeds, Bradford, and Lancaster. Green spaces like Aireville Park, with its sports fields and outdoor pool, offer recreational space within this largely residential part of the market town.
