Odell Great Wood
Odell Great Wood is an ancient woodland and biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Odell in Bedfordshire. Located around the centre of the parish of Odell, the site was described by Natural England as "in many respects the best example in Bedfordshire" of wet ash-maple woodland, and in historical sources as "the noblest wood in this county".〔 Being one of the largest of Bedfordshire's ancient woodlands, the wood hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna in its ash, oak and hazel coppice habitat.

== History ==
What is now Odell Great Wood was once just a small part of a much larger forest and source of employment for woodsmen that reached The Fens. Sheep also grazed in a large sheep-wold, that was enclosed in 1776, and sheep still graze in adjoining meadows today along with game birds being reared in wired compounds inside Odell Great Wood.〔 A 1765 map by Thomas Jeffreys shows formal drives through Odell Great Wood, arranged on the design of the wheel. In 1844, Joseph Mason of Felmersham was convicted of larceny ("unlawful taking of the personal property of another person") and sentenced to three months hard labour and imprisonment, after stealing an axe from under a stump of ash in the wood.
