Caunton is a small rural parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits among undulating farmland and hedged lanes a short drive from market towns such as Newark and Southwell, with the landscape offering views towards the Trent valley and a pattern of stone cottages, farmsteads and country lanes.
The parish has a long history visible in a medieval parish church and a handful of older houses, while its economy remains rooted in agriculture alongside a number of residents who commute to nearby towns. Community life is quiet but active, centred on the village hall, the local pub and occasional village events, and the surrounding countryside is popular with walkers and those interested in rural heritage.
