About Elton
Elton is small upland village situated in the southern part of the Peak District and the picturesque Derbyshire Dales. The village is located between the towns of Bakewell and Matlock and sits approximately nine hundred feet above sea level.
The predominant industry of the area is farming and Elton still has a number of working farms.
Elton is located close to the 'White Peak Walking Way' and Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are only a few minutes drive away, making Elton a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, tourists and holiday makers.
The village has a church, village hall, primary school, pub, cafe and a sports and recreation field. A grocery shop and newsagents is located in the neighbouring village of Winster, one mile from Elton
Elton has a strong community spirit with families remaining in the village over several generations.
Various clubs and groups exist within Elton and a range of events are held throughout the year (including Elton's annual Beer Festival) which attract scores of people from all over Derbyshire and beyond.
Our website provides parish residents, newcomers and visitors with a good insight in to village life and what Elton has to offer.
