Hotels in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Bedfordshire sits in eastern England with a temperate climate-summers average 70°F (21°C) for exploring the Woburn Safari Park's drive-through lion enclosure, while winters around 40°F (4°C) are perfect for browsing the antique shops in the 12th-century market town of Dunstable. This region is famous for Woburn Abbey, a 17th-century mansion with 25 state rooms, and for being home to John Bunyan, who wrote *The Pilgrim's Progress* in the 1600s while jailed in Bedford. You can paddle a canoe on the River Great Ouse during warm months, or in winter, take a guided tour of the Bedfordshire countryside's ruined castles like Someries Castle.
