Hilton is a small rural village and civil parish in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, within the county of Cambridgeshire in England. Set among farmland and hedged lanes, it has medieval roots and a compact village core of traditional cottages and a parish church, with the surrounding landscape shaped by agriculture and nearby fen country.
