Days Out Bedfordshire & Things To Do Beds UK

Bedfordshire is the smallest of the 'Shire' counties occupying just 480 square miles of central, southern England. It lies between Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire to the north and Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire in the south.

Bedfordshire has no cities, however it does have a number of flourishing market towns including Bedford, Luton, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard. The largest town in Beds is Luton, which boasts an international airport. Bedford, first recorded in 1011 as Bedanfordscir, gets its name from the Anglo-Saxon for Beda's Ford – the place where Beda forded the Great Ouse River.
