About Harrold
The village of Harrold is about 60 miles north of London in the county of Bedfordshire. It is nine miles northwest of the county town of Bedford and is about 16 miles from both Northampton and Milton Keynes. Its population is around 1,300, and expanding. Harrold is a riverside village with an ancient bridge over the River Great Ouse. It has a long rich history with some archaeological finds dating back 4,500 years. Throughout the ages it has been the River Great Ouse that drew the first settlers, and after them the Romans and the Saxons. In fact the river, together with its frequent floods, has been a feature of Harrold village life since time immemorial.

The Odell Country Park is a beautiful, tranquil location should you just want to walk and talk. The park lies at the eastern end of Harrold village but is actually within the parish boundaries of Odell. It is a wonderful amenity shared by the people of North Bedfordshire, and visited by people from far beyond the county boundaries.
The park consists of an area of water meadows and lakes adjacent to the River Great Ouse and was built on the site of former sand and gravel workings. It has a total area of 59 hectares, including 12.3 hectares of water meadows and 45.1 hectares of lakes. At the Harrold entrance in Carlton Road there is a visitor car park and a cafe with the appropriate name of "Cafe in the Park".
Until the Second World War the site consisted of open farmland, the southern parts of which were subject to fairly regular flooding. After the war planning permission was given for the extraction of sand and gravel. In accordance with the planning permissions imposed, the site was restored as a series of lakes, which rapidly acquired importance as wildlife habitats, a small woodland was planted between Carlton Road and the gravel workings. Work finished on the restoration of the lakes in 1980.
