Elton is a small village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, within the county of Cambridgeshire in England, situated on the rural edge of Peterborough. Historically part of the old county of Huntingdonshire, it keeps a quiet, rural character while being within easy reach of larger towns, which makes it popular with commuters as well as local farmers.
