Woburn
Set in 3,000 acres, Woburn Abbey has been the home of the Dukes of Bedford for nearly 400 years and is now occupied by the 15th Duke and his family. The Abbey was restored during the 17th century with further redesigning and rebuilding work completed by Henry Flitcroft and later Henry Holland in the 18th century. The Abbey houses one of the most important private art collections in the world including paintings by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Van Dyck and Cuyp. There is a fine collection of 21 views of Venice by Canaletto in the Dining Room.
Woburn Abbey is the setting for the origin of “Afternoon Tea”, a social tradition introduced in the 1840’s by Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke when she entertained her friends in the Blue Drawing Room. Visitors are also able to take a walk around 22 acres of informal Abbey gardens and enjoy the plants, trees and the inspiration of Humphry Repton, who contributed to its design.
