Clophill is a small village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, set amid the gently rolling agricultural landscape typical of Bedfordshire. The village retains a historic core with an old parish church and a handful of listed cottages and farm buildings that hint at its medieval origins, while lanes and hedgerows give way to open fields and woodland on the surrounding Greensand ridge.
Today it functions largely as a rural residential community with some farming, a village hall, a pub and a primary school, and many residents commute to nearby towns or to London via stations at places such as Flitwick. Local life combines traditional village events and clubs with a dash of local folklore - the village has a reputation in regional stories and occasional media interest - making it a quietly distinctive spot close to Bedford and Ampthill.
