High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a list of all the settlements in Bedfordshire. Population figures are taken from the 2001 UK census. For villages the population given is for the civil parish. Because of this the village`s population may include hamlets which may or may not be considered separate settlements. As well as this some civil parishes include more than one village but they have been included together in this list because there is no reliable data for the populations of separate villages in a civil parish consisting of more than one village. Settlements which do not form part of Urban areas have had their urban area listed as rural. However some villages may be only partly in one Urban Area with the rest of it not being in any urban areas in such cases the urban area has been listed as the urban area and Rural.
