Welcome to Woburn

Woburn is a small town located in Bedfordshire, England. It is known for its historic Woburn Abbey, which was originally founded as a Cistercian abbey in the 12th century.

In addition to the abbey, Woburn is also home to the Woburn Safari Park, which is a popular attraction for families. The park features a drive-through safari where visitors can see a variety of animals, including lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes. There is also a foot safari where visitors can walk through different animal exhibits and learn about conservation efforts.
