Peaton is a hamlet in the civil parish of Diddlebury in Shropshire, England.
It is situated in the Corvedale, between Diddlebury and Bouldon. The Pye Brook flows past the hamlet, with Peaton Bridge taking the Bouldon-Diddlebury lane across it. The hamlet lies at 124 metres (407 ft) above sea level.
A smaller hamlet called Peatonstrand lies further towards Bouldon at grid reference SO539845; it is partly situated in the valley of the Strand Brook and partly along the lane to Bouldon where the Strand has its confluence with the larger Pye Brook.[1]
