Caddington is a village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, sitting on the scarp of the Chiltern Hills near the towns of Luton and Dunstable. The parish includes smaller settlements such as Aley Green and lies within easy reach of the chalk ridges at Dunstable Downs, giving a mix of gently rolling countryside and suburban edges.
Historically the area had a strong brick‑making and clay‑extraction presence, traces of which remain in the local landscape and older buildings, but today it is largely a residential community with village amenities, clubs and events and a degree of commuting to Luton and London; proximity to Luton Airport and good road links shape the local economy while a parish atmosphere and some historic buildings preserve its rural character.
