Woburn is a compact historic village in Central Bedfordshire, England, perched on the Greensand Ridge near the River Ouzel. It grew up around the extensive Woburn Abbey estate and retains a handsome high street of cottages, independent shops and tea rooms that reflect its market-village roots.
Tourism and the estate remain key to the local economy - visitors come for the house and landscaped gardens, the deer park, and nearby attractions such as Woburn Safari Park - while many residents commute to larger centres like Bedford or Milton Keynes. The village still feels like a close-knit community with traditional pubs, occasional estate events and a strong sense of local history dating back to its medieval abbey origins.
