Chalton is a small village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, set on chalk downland close to the scarp of the Dunstable Downs at the edge of the Chiltern Hills. Its ridge-top and rolling farmland setting gives wide views and attractive walking country; the settlement feels distinctly rural with lanes, historic farmsteads and a sense of long-standing, agricultural origins.
Although quiet in character, Chalton lies within easy reach of Dunstable and Luton, so many people commute while village life centres on a small, close-knit community, local events and countryside pursuits. The local economy remains largely agricultural with a modest mix of small businesses and leisure activity linked to walking, riding and the scenic downs.
