Odell is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. Set in rolling Bedfordshire farmland a few miles from the county town, it keeps a compact feel with stone and brick cottages, a village green and a parish church; the local economy is still largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to Bedford and other nearby centres.
The village has clear medieval roots, visible in earthworks from a former motte-and-bailey and in the fabric of the parish church, and its history as a small manorial community remains part of local identity. Social life is typically village-centred, with events around the church and village hall and a quiet, close-knit atmosphere that attracts people wanting a rural base within easy reach of town amenities.
