Resting-places in the county (4)
I believe the answer is:
beds
'the county' is the definition.
(abbreviation for Bedfordshire)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beds that I've seen before include "Pieces of furniture" , "Place" , "Hospital places" , "Garden plots - English county (abbr)" , "Places to sow or to sleep" .)
