Lidlington is a village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, set in the low-lying clay landscape of the Marston Vale between Bedford and Milton Keynes. The village is on the local rail link, served by the Marston Vale line at Lidlington station, and sits close to the A421 which gives straightforward commuter access to neighbouring towns.
Historically the area was shaped by the brickmaking industry and former clay workings, many of which have been softened by the Forest of Marston Vale and the nearby Millennium Country Park, creating a mix of reclaimed green space and agricultural land. Today Lidlington retains a strong village community with a parish church, school and local amenities, while many residents commute to larger centres for work, giving the place a blend of rural character and modern links.
