Denton and Caldecote is a small rural civil parish in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, within Cambridgeshire in England. The area is made up of two compact villages and surrounding farmland, with a quiet network of lanes, hedgerows and field patterns that reflect its agricultural setting; many households combine local farming or small businesses with commuting to larger towns for work.
Both villages have medieval roots and a number of older buildings and earthworks that hint at a long local history, while today the community is typical of small English parishes: limited services, a parish council, a village hall or church gatherings and occasional local events that knit residents together. Conservation of the rural landscape and a steady residential character rather than rapid development tend to define its social and economic life.
