Upper Gravenhurst

England

Upper Gravenhurst is a small Bedfordshire village reached via the A507 and local roads from M1 Junction 12, about 15 minutes away. The area sits among gentle hills between Luton and the Chilterns, with London Luton Airport 20km southeast. Most routes connect neighbouring villages like Shillington and Lower Gravenhurst, though longer journeys use the M1 for London or the Midlands. The village takes its name from medieval landowners who once held extensive local estates.
