Elton is a small village and civil parish in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, now administered within Cambridgeshire in England. It sits on the rural edge of Peterborough, close to the low-lying landscape of the Fens and near the River Nene, so the surrounding countryside is largely agricultural and increasingly home to people who commute into the city for work.
The most notable local landmark is Elton Hall, a long-established country house with gardens that give the village a strong historic identity, and the parish retains a quietly active community with a village church, hall and a traditional social life. Its mix of historic estate influence and contemporary commuter living makes it a typically English rural settlement with ties to both local history and the nearby urban centre.
