Knotting and Souldrop is a small, rural civil parish in the borough of Bedford in Bedfordshire, England, made up of the two tiny villages of Knotting and Souldrop. The landscape is classic lowland countryside - hedged arable fields with pockets of woodland and scattered farmsteads - and the settlement pattern is low density, giving a quiet, village feel with easy road links to larger towns for services and commuting.
Historically the area has medieval roots and retains a number of older cottages and farm buildings that reflect its agricultural past; small village churches and listed buildings hint at that continuity. Today the local economy remains largely agricultural, complemented by residents who commute to nearby centres, and community life is typical of small English villages, with a close‑knit social scene, informal events and a parish council handling local matters.
