Carlton is a small, largely rural village and civil parish tucked into the gently rolling farmland of South Cambridgeshire in Cambridgeshire, England. It feels quietly agricultural, with narrow lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of traditional cottages, yet lies within easy reach of the city of Cambridge, so many residents combine local life with commuting for work and services.
Historically it retains the feel of a long‑established settlement with a parish sense of community, a church and a modest cluster of listed buildings rather than any heavy industry; village life tends to centre on the parish council, village hall and occasional community events. The local economy is mostly agricultural or service‑oriented, and conservation of the surrounding landscape and heritage is a notable part of its character.
