Bedfordshire
South Midlands county of England, largely within the low-lying valley
of the Great Ouse River. The county town and administative headquarters
is Bedford, a town of Anglo-Saxon origin. Milton Keynes, the largest
example of a new town in England, is almost beyond comparison with
Bedford due to its recent development. Covering an area of 1,235
square kilometres, Bedfordshire's economy was long based on agriculture,
It is still a significant wheat-growing district and supplier of
milk and vegetables to the Greater London area. Bedfordshire's gentle
landscapes are easily accessible since a vast network of motorways
leads out from urban sprawl of London.
