Elton Furze Golf Club - Peterborough
Elton Furze Golf Club is set in the beautiful surroundings of the Cambridgeshire countryside, and is situated just a few miles west of the Cathedral City of Peterborough. The Club opened in 1993 and was developed in and around some 20 acres of mature woodland, the majority of which are contained within Furze Wood. The course provides 18 holes, designed as two loops of 9, and has made use of the natural contours of the landscape, as well as many other mature parkland trees which were on site before development began. The siting of several small lakes and water courses provides a very attractive and interesting course.
Elton Hall
Sir and William and Lady Proby welcome you to Elton Hall, the romantic house which has been the family home for over 350 years. Elton Hall stands in the midst of unspoilt landscaped parkland, on a site where there has been a house since the Norman Conquest. Sir Peter Proby, Lord Mayor of London and Comptroller of the Royal Household, was granted land and property at Elton by Queen Elizabeth I. His grandson, Sir Thomas Proby, completed the main house in 1666, incorporating the medieval chapel and gatehouse. In the eighteenth century John Proby was created the first Earl of Carysfort in recognition of his services as a politician and diplomat. He and his successors enlarged the house and gave it the eighteenth century character that it has today.
