Milton is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying immediately north‑east of Cambridge. It is notable for the green space of Milton Country Park on the banks of the River Cam, with lakes, trails and watersports that make it a popular local recreation spot; the village is also well connected to the city by road, buses and well‑used cycling routes along Milton Road.
Milton has roots going back to the Domesday Book and today combines residential streets with light industry and business parks that tap into the wider Cambridge tech and academic economy. Community life centres on village facilities, a handful of pubs and clubs, and the parkland, while ongoing development pressure and good transport links keep it closely integrated with the city’s cultural and economic life.
