Bedfordshire may be among England's smallest counties, but its 700,000 residents and increasing visitor numbers have a wealth of places to explore within its boundaries. Alongside the urban areas of Luton and Bedford, the county offers plenty of green spaces, including the Chiltern Hills. The county has connections with John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, Catherine of Aragon and the Whitbread family, dating back some 250 years when the brewing pioneer was MP for Bedford. In this book local authors John Jackson and Jenny Jackson reveal the vital role a Bedfordshire barn played during the Second World War, exactly why Luton Town Football Club are appropriately nicknamed 'The Hatters', the churchyard that inspired J. M. Barrie's character of Wendy in Peter Pan, and much more.
50 Gems of Bedfordshire explores the many places and their history that make this part of the country so special, including natural features, towns and villages, buildings and places of historical interest. Alongside justly famous attractions, others will be relatively unknown, but all have an interesting story to tell.
