Linton is a large village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying a few miles southeast of Cambridge on the A1307. It sits on the valley of the River Granta and is backed by the rolling chalk countryside that leads towards the Gog Magog Hills, making it popular with walkers and cyclists and giving the village a pleasant semi-rural feel despite good road links.
The centre is a mix of period houses, flint cottages and a medieval parish church, with a handful of long-established inns and independent shops. There’s a strong community spirit - a village college serving surrounding settlements, local sports clubs and regular events - while economically many residents commute into Cambridge, balanced by small businesses, farming in the surrounding parish and a steady attraction for those seeking village life within easy reach of the city.
