Alwalton is a small village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, within the administrative county of Cambridgeshire in England, sitting on the north bank of the River Nene just west of Peterborough. The village is set among river meadows and former gravel workings that have been reclaimed as recreational and wildlife areas, forming part of the Nene Valley and linking into Nene Park and Ferry Meadows, so it is popular with walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers.
Alwalton has medieval roots and a compact historic core of listed buildings and country houses, with a traditional parish church and a village community that reflects its agricultural past. Economically it has shifted from farming and gravel extraction to a mix of conservation-led leisure, small local enterprises and commuter homes for nearby Peterborough, giving it a quiet, conservation-minded character with an active local social life.
