Places interest in and around Luton

Before going on holiday many customers prior to parking their car take the opportunity to visit the numerous attractions, that surround Luton airport and we outline below a list of attractions:

Bedfordshire

neatly divides into two distinct sections, based on the more industrial south centred on Luton and the agricultural north based on the market town of Bedford. Two other notable geographical features are The Great Ouse, which meanders through the peaceful countryside and the town of Bedford and the Chiltern hills to the south of the county.

John Bunyan

One of the famous sons of area is John Bunyan who was born in Bedford in 1628 and was the author of Pilgrim’s Progress and many museums and walks around the town devote themselves to his life.

Woburn Abbey

Also near Bedford is the internationally famous Woburn Abbey the home for the last 3 centuries of The Earls and Dukes of Woburn. This one of the best known and visited stately homes of England notable for its porcelain, silver and fine art collections. Moreover the key attraction is Woburn Safari Park.

Whipsnade Zoo

For further animal life Whipsnade Zoo is not far away at Dunstable where you have the choice of driving your car through the 600 acres of Parkland or use one of the shuttle buses.

Vintage Aviation and Cars

For aviation enthusiast Befordshire has many of the best museums, the Shuttleworth Collection near Biggleswade houses vintage aircraft many of which are the sole survivors of their type. A wonderful collection of vintage automobiles can also be seen. Cardington, London Colney and Hendon all have fine displays of vintage aircraft.
