Gravenhurst is a civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, comprising the two small settlements of Gravenhurst and Lower Gravenhurst. It sits in rolling Bedfordshire countryside of mixed arable and pasture, with hedgerows, lanes and public footpaths, and is within easy reach of larger towns such as Bedford and Biggleswade.
The parish retains a strong village feel with a parish church, a village hall and a local pub forming the social hub, while historic buildings and farmsteads hint at its long rural past. Agriculture remains an important part of the local economy, though a number of residents commute to nearby towns, and community events and conservation efforts help preserve the character of the lanes, greens and footpaths.
