Bedfordshire

Photo. taken by me from another Tiger Moth "In Formation"
A very rare and privileged occasion for me.

A mainly rural county, though Bedfordshire does include the large industrial town of Luton.

Market towns like Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Biggleswade are much smaller and compact.

The National Trust is responsible for one of the largest areas of open countryside, the Dunstable Downs.

Transport

Area is easily accessible via the M1 and A5. Towns are connected by rail, but beyond that access available by road and public transport.
