About Elton

This unspoilt small peakland village stands 950 feet above sea level offering stunning views of the peakland countryside.
It is a very tradional village, which had its own fire brigade that eventually had to be disbanded as the firemen grew too old!
There is just the one pub in the village, that may only be open at night, however the village does have its own tearooms.
