Bedfordshire

Introduction
Experience the county of Bedfordshire.

Explore the historic county town of Bedford, with its fine river setting and connections to preacher and author John Bunyan. To the north west are pretty limestone villages, and to the east, the giant airship hangers at Cardington and the unique Swiss Garden.

Antique lovers should head to the Georgian towns of Ampthill or Woburn, which is also home to the magnificent abbey - seat of the Dukes of Bedford. Enjoy the shopping and entertainment centre of Luton, or get back to nature amongst the chalk-life flora and fauna of the Dunstable Downs.
