Bedfordshire Historic Houses
One historic house towers (metaphorically) over all others in Bedfordshire. Woburn Abbey is one of the nation's great treasure houses, and it justifiable draws a huge number of visitors every year. Luton Hoo could justifiably claim to rival Woburn, at least before it was turned into a luxury hotel. If you want to avoid the crowds of Woburn, why not opt for a visit to Wrest Park, with its formal gardens. Or see the ruins of Houghton House, thought to be the model for John Bunyan's House Beautiful.

Turvey House

A country house in neo-classical style, standing in lovely parkland bordering the River Great Ouse. The interiors of Turvey Hall feature collections of furniture covering the 18th and 19th centuries, plus a wide-ranging collection of ceramics, books, and artwork. Outside the house is a quiet walled garden.
