With its southern borders only 30 miles
from London, the county of Bedfordshire
is the gateway to the Midlands and East
Anglia. Set in a rich rural landscape, the
county is an attractive place to live, work
and visit. There are many areas of outstanding
natural beauty and attractions, which include
stately homes and gardens, woodland walks
and nature reserves, country parks and world-famous
animal parks. The county enjoys excellent
transport links to London, the north and
beyond.
Luton is now Bedfordshire’s largest
town, a thriving centre of light industry
and famous for its international airport.
In the past however it was famous for making
pillow lace and the elegant straw plaited
hats by ladies to protect their complexion
from the sun. Exhibits in the Wardown museum
illustrate the history of these crafts from
a bygone era. All major facilities can be
found here, with the main shopping centre
around George Street and the Arndale Centre.
As a result of these shopping developments
alot of Luton's old buildings were lost.
Entertainment facilities include a theatre,
The Library Theatre, cinema and a bowlind
alley as well as the Artezium, a new arts
and media centre.
