"DIDDINGTON, the parish of Diddington is located to the south of Buckden. The soil is loam and the sub-soil mainly Oxford clay. The land rises westwards from the River Ouse.

The village street lies just off the east side of the old main road from St Neots to Huntingdon, and the whole modern village is to the east of the modern A1 dual-carriageway. The village contains several 17th cent. timber-framed cottages. Diddington Brook, which runs into the Ouse, rises near Long Stowe. The parish was inclosed by a private Act of Parliament in 1797. "
