Carlton is a town in the Borough of Gedling, Nottinghamshire, England. It is to the east of Nottingham. The population at the 2011 Census was 6,881. It was an urban district until 1974, whose wards (Carlton Hill, Carlton, Cavendish, Colwick, Gedling, Netherfield, Phoenix and Porchester) had a population of 53,555 according to the 2021–2022 United Kingdom censuses. Owing to the growth of residential, commercial and industrial in the wider Gedling borough, City of Nottingham, Broxtowe, Rushcliffe and Ashfield, as well as the Amber Valley and Erewash in Derbyshire which have become quite urban around Nottingham, Carlton and Gedling, as well as Netherfield form a contiguous urban area.
