Clifton is a small rural parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, set amid rolling arable countryside a short drive from the larger towns of Dunstable and Luton. The settlement still has a compact, historic core of stone and brick cottages clustered around a parish church and green, giving a distinctly village feel while remaining within easy reach of urban amenities.
Traditionally agricultural, the local economy now combines farming with small businesses and a significant number of commuters who work in nearby towns and at regional business parks. Community life is focused on the village hall and occasional local events, and numerous lanes and footpaths make the parish popular with walkers exploring the quiet Bedfordshire countryside.
