Glinton is a village and civil parish on the edge of the city of Peterborough in England, sitting on slightly higher ground above the surrounding Fens. It lies within the unitary authority of Peterborough in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, close to the River Nene and main road links such as the A15. The settlement has a clear historic core, with a medieval parish church and older stone cottages that hint at a long agricultural past.
Today Glinton combines village character with commuter convenience: many residents work in Peterborough or further afield, while local life revolves around the village hall, primary school, a couple of pubs and active clubs. The juxtaposition of working farmland and expanding housing gives the place a social mix that feels both rural and connected, with easy access to city amenities and the distinctive landscape of the Fens.
