Carlton is a small village in the Borough of Bedford, in Bedfordshire, England. Set in low-lying agricultural countryside close to the River Great Ouse, it forms part of the civil parish of Carlton and Chellington and has medieval roots, a compact historic core and a number of listed buildings that hint at its long past.
Today Carlton feels like a quiet rural community where farming still shapes the landscape but many residents commute into Bedford and nearby towns; village life revolves around the parish amenities, local events and countryside walks, giving it a strong sense of local identity while remaining well connected to larger services.
