Upper Gravenhurst is a small village in the civil parish of Gravenhurst in Central Bedfordshire, England. Set among rolling farmland and small copses, it retains a distinctly rural feel with a number of older houses and a parish church that hint at its medieval origins.
The local economy is largely agricultural, complemented by a handful of local businesses and residents who travel to nearby centres such as Bedford and Biggleswade. Village life is centred on the church, the village hall and occasional community events, giving it a quiet, close‑knit character while remaining within reach of larger towns.
