Elton is a small village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the rural fringe of the Peak District. The local landscape is typical of the area, with limestone and rolling farmland, narrow lanes and traditional stone cottages that give it a distinctly pastoral character while still being within reach of nearby market towns.
Historically the community has been rooted in agriculture with some local quarrying and a scattering of historic buildings, and today it combines a quiet village life with modest tourism from walkers and countryside visitors. Amenities are limited but community-minded, and the parish’s listed buildings and lanes make it a pleasant base for exploring the surrounding dales and neighbouring centres such as Matlock and Bakewell.
