More about the Location.....
Woburn Sands is a small yet thriving historic town nestled on the Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire border, renowned for its character, charm, and strong sense of community. Steeped in history, the town’s roots trace back to the 12th century, with its name derived from the surrounding sandy soil and close proximity to the esteemed Woburn Abbey Estate. Central to its heritage is The Institute, one of the oldest buildings in the area, which today houses the local library and continues to serve as a community hub.
Despite its modest size, Woburn Sands offers an impressive and diverse range of amenities.
