Caunton is a small, predominantly rural village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England. Set among rolling farmland, it lies a short drive from Newark-on-Trent and within reach of Nottingham, so it combines a quiet, agricultural character with easy access to larger towns for shopping and commuting.

The village retains a historic feel, with a medieval parish church, stone cottages and several listed buildings that reflect its long local history. Community life is typical of a small English village, centred on the village hall, occasional local events and a mix of farm-based activity alongside residents who work in nearby towns.
