| Situated just outside the town of Woburn, Woburn Abbey is a much more than a fascinating house. |
| One of the first places to really think properly about turning history into a tourist attraction, everything happens here, from tours to teas, from concerts to conferences. |
| More than 300 people are involved in running the Woburn Estate but it's still very much a family home. It was opened to the public in the 1950s and is currently run by the Marquess of Tavistock, who will one day become the 13th Duke of Bedford. |
| As well as the magnificent rooms within the house, there's an antiques centre, extensive conference facilities, a golf course, a famous deer park and, not forgetting Woburn Safari Park. It's hardly surprising that annual passes are now available for visitors! |
