Woburn, Bedfordshire

Imagine a cozy village nestled in the English countryside! Woburn is in a place called Bedfordshire. It's not too far from a big, busy town called Milton Keynes, about the same distance as walking to the end of your street and back a few times. It's also close to a super-fast road called the M1 motorway, which is like a giant ribbon for cars to zoom along.

Even though Woburn is a small village, it's home to lots of people! Think about your school – Woburn has about as many people as a few big schools put together. In fact, when people counted everyone in 2011, there were 933 friendly faces living there. That's a lot of neighbors to say hello to!

Woburn has a super interesting name! It means 'twisted or crooked stream'. Can you picture a little stream winding and bending its way through the fields? That's what the people who named Woburn saw long, long ago. It tells us that nature was a big part of this place from the very beginning.
