About Us

Woburn Abbey has been the home of the Dukes of Bedford for nearly 400 years. As well as being set in 3,000 acres of beautiful grounds, the great house itself is full of unique history and is a remarkable record of 400 years of English history. This includes the story that led the 14th Duke to creating a charity called the Tavistock Trust.

With all this inspiration and enjoyment on offer, it is little wonder that Woburn Abbey is one of Britain's most treasured houses
