Woburn Abbey North Court
Woburn Abbey in the village of Woburn, Bedfordshire, England, is a country house and the family seat of the Duke of Bedford. No, this isn't the house. This shabby little building is just one of the Duke's stable blocks (although I don't know whether horses get near it these days). The grounds are an amazing deer park and adjacent land is the Woburn Safari Park. Asked about the unfavourable comments by other aristocrats when he turned the family home into a safari park, the 13th Duke said, "I do not relish the scorn of the peerage, but it is better to be looked down on than overlooked."
