The ward around Stilton, Folksworth and Washingley sits in rural Huntingdonshire in Cambridgeshire, a short drive from Peterborough. It occupies gentle rolling countryside that grew up on historic coaching routes - Stilton in particular expanded as a stop on the old Great North Road and is famous for its long association with Stilton cheese, even though the modern protected cheese is produced outside the village.
Today the area is largely agricultural, with arable farms and small local businesses alongside a commuter population travelling to nearby towns. Village life centres on parish churches, village halls and annual fetes, listed buildings and conservation-minded residents, while Stilton’s name continues to attract food-curious visitors and a modest amount of tourism.
