Blog (August 2019) - Experience Bedfordshire

From actors to musicians to notable people in history, Bedfordshire has some very famous exports. If you’re thinking of coming to the county for a conference or a day trip, perhaps you could spend some time following in these famous footsteps.

The county of Bedfordshire is often forgotten when talking about the UK’s history being overshadowed by the industrial revolution of the north or the various history and scandals of neighbouring London, but it has plenty of history, heritage and fun facts of its own.

Luton is often overlooked because people are there for one thing and one thing only: the airport. Whether you’re escaping the UK for warmer climes or you’re arriving in Luton for a conference, event or to travel on to other places in the UK you should make some time in your journey to experience this countryside town. And for those of you who just want to go somewhere different, Luton is easily accessible on the rail network and you can reach it in under an hour from central London.
