Caddington is a semi-rural ward in Central Bedfordshire, England, sitting on the eastern edge of the Chilterns and close to the towns of Dunstable and Luton. Its location near the A5 and M1 makes it a popular commuter area while still offering countryside views and easy access to green walking routes along the chalk escarpment.
The area retains a village atmosphere with local shops, pubs and community groups, but has historic roots in agriculture and brick-making from local clay pits, which shaped its 19th-century growth. Today the ward combines that industrial heritage with a largely residential character, serving both long-standing local families and people who work in nearby towns and airports.
