Harrold

About

Harrold ward encompasses the village of Harrold and its surrounding rural landscape in northern Bedfordshire. The area is defined by agricultural land and the River Great Ouse, which meanders through the parish. The settlement itself is a linear village, with development primarily concentrated along High Street and Carlton Road. Local governance is managed as part of the wider Harrold parish council.

The geography is characterised by open fields and the river valley, with the Harrold-Odell Country Park being a significant local green space. The area includes the hamlet of Carlton, directly connected to the main village. Economic activity has traditionally been linked to farming, though it now functions largely as a residential community. The historic Harrold Bridge, a narrow crossing over the Ouse, connects the ward to neighbouring Odell.
