Ellington is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, in England. It retains a distinctly agricultural feel, with surrounding arable fields and hedgerows, and a compact settlement of traditional brick and stone houses. The village has medieval roots and a historic parish church, and there are a number of listed buildings and features that hint at its long local history.
Today the community is a mix of farming families and residents who commute to nearby towns such as Huntingdon and Peterborough, giving it a quiet but sociable atmosphere with a village hall and local groups rather than high streets or industry. Its pleasant rural setting and proximity to larger centres make it typical of small Huntingdonshire parishes that balance heritage, countryside and modern commuter life.
