Caldecote is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. Set amid rolling arable farmland a short drive west of Cambridge, it retains a compact village core and a quiet rural character while many residents commute into the city and nearby employers.
The name has old roots - deriving from Old English and often interpreted as a "cold cottage" - and the parish contains a number of historic buildings and fieldscape features that hint at earlier settlement. Local life is centred on the village hall, church and occasional community events, with agriculture and low‑density housing still shaping the landscape.
