Welcome to Chalton

Chalton is a small village located in the county of Bedfordshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles south of the town of Luton and 35 miles north of London. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable landmarks in Chalton is the All Saints Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and is known for its stunning architecture and beautiful stained glass windows.

Chalton is a peaceful and quiet village, with a strong sense of community. The village has a number of local amenities, including a village hall, a post office, and a pub. The pub, called The Star, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and serves a range of traditional pub food and drinks. The village also has a primary school, which is highly regarded for its excellent standards of education.

Despite its small size, Chalton has a rich history and a number of interesting stories to tell. One of the most fascinating stories is that of the Chalton Dragon, a legendary creature that is said to have terrorized the village in the 17th century. According to local folklore, the dragon was eventually defeated by a brave villager who used a sword to slay the beast. Today, the Chalton Dragon is celebrated in the village with an annual festival, which includes a parade and a reenactment of the dragon's defeat.
