Calcott is a hamlet in the midst of Shropshire. It is to be found strung along a lane to the north-west of the county town, Shrewsbury, separated from the swollen townscape of its suburbs by less than half a mile of green fields.

Immediately to the north is Bicton (within whose parish it falls) and to the south is Bicton Heath, a new suburb at the edge of Shrewsbury. The A5 road narrowly misses the hamlet.
