The county town, Bedford is dominated by four churches dating back to Saxon and Norman times and was home to John Bunyon from 1655, until his death in 1688. Reminders of his time there include the statue at St Peter's Green and the John Bunyon Library in Harpur street.
Much of Bedfordshire is unspoilt and rural. Typical English villages such as Ickwell Green, with thatched roofs and stone spires can be found dotted around the region's North, while towns such as Eaton Socon and
Clifton offer fascinating reminders of the region's past and epitomise the charm of Bedfordshire.
Other places of interest include Woburn Abbey and Woburn Park. The latter, founded in 1900 by the 11th Duke of Bedford is home to a rich array of wildlife and is a major attraction for tourists. If you're looking for a peaceful, idyllic break book Bedfordshire holiday cottages.
