Stilton is a small village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting close to the line of the historic Great North Road and the modern A1 between Peterborough and Stamford. Its position on the Fen-edge countryside gives a compact high street with traditional coaching inns and several listed buildings that hint at its importance to travellers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The village is best known for giving its name to Stilton cheese: the blue cheese was traditionally sold in local inns, though the protected Stilton PDO means the cheese today is only made in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. Local life remains shaped by agriculture, small businesses and visitors curious about the cheese link and the surviving coaching-house legacy, making it a modest but historically rich community.
