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. The abbey has been the home of the Russell family, the Dukes of Bedford, since the 16th century. Today, the abbey is open to the public and features beautiful gardens, a deer park, and a collection of art and antiques.

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.

Woburn is a charming town with a rich history and plenty of attractions for visitors. Whether you are interested in exploring the abbey and its gardens, or seeing exotic animals at the safari park, there is something for everyone in Woburn.
