Glinton is a small village and civil parish on the northern edge of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, England, set close to the River Nene and surrounded by fertile arable land and fen countryside. Its position on the city’s fringe gives it a quiet, semi-rural character while providing easy road and bus links into Peterborough, so many residents commute for work while enjoying village life.
The village has medieval roots reflected in its older church and traditional stone and brick cottages, and a compact centre with a primary school, village hall and local sports clubs that stage community events. Historically agricultural with some local industry, Glinton today balances conservation of its historic core with the practicalities of being part of the wider Peterborough economy.
