Bedfordshire is the smallest of the 'Shire' counties,has no cities but has the market towns of Bedford, Luton, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard. The name Bedfordshire is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beda's Ford or the river crossing of Beda.
The county covers just 480 square miles of central to southern England, gently undulating in a series of hills and valleys across the plain of the Ouse to the Chiltern Hills where most of the land is rich clay through a belt of sandy hills stretching from Woburn to Sandy to a higher ridge of chalk downs in the south of the county, where the highest point of 801 feet is reached.
The north of Bedfordshire is mainly agricultural and the south around the town of Luton mostly industrial.
Bedfordshire's main attractions are Whipsnade Wild Animal Park near Dunstable and Woburn Abbey - the home of the Duke of Bedford.
Any town centre can be used as your base if you would like to take part in a treasure hunt, Spy Mission or take part in spy-themed team building activities.
If you would prefer an adrenaline-fuelled multiactivity day, head to the countryside where you can combine motorised activities (such as blindfold driving, 4x4 driving and quad bikes), field sports (such as clay shooting, archery and laser clays) and classic and original teambuilding challenges.
