Wyton is a small village in the historic district of Huntingdonshire in Cambridgeshire, England, lying close to the banks of the River Great Ouse and within easy reach of the towns of Huntingdon and St Ives. The landscape is typical low-lying fen and river valley country, with pleasant riverside walks and a quiet, rural feel punctuated by arable fields and hedged lanes.
The village has a long local history and a mixed character today: traditional farming and village life sit alongside a strong military presence, most notably RAF Wyton, which has shaped the local economy and community for much of the 20th and 21st centuries. Local social life centres on small community institutions such as the parish church, village hall and occasional events, giving Wyton the feel of a close-knit rural settlement with an interesting military and riverine backdrop.
