Odell Great Wood, Protected woodland in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Odell Great Wood features oak and ash trees growing over shrub layers of privet, dogwood, field maple, and coppiced hazel across varied soil types.

The woodland was part of a larger forest extending to The Fens, with formal drives arranged in a wheel design documented on a 1765 map by Thomas Jefferys.

Natural England designated this location as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1970 under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.

The woodland provides walking trails and observation points for visitors to explore the diverse landscapes while maintaining conservation guidelines.

Rare woodland plant species inhabit the area, including herb paris and wild daffodil, supported by an extensive system of rides enhancing butterfly populations.
