**Location**
Aspley Heath - Step out your gate and cross the road to walk alongside the
woodlands opposite. Despite your enviable seclusion it's less than five
minutes stroll to the heart of Woburn Sands village.
Unusually, the village straddles the border of Bedfordshire and
Buckinghamshire, with parts in both counties.
Believed to have its roots in a nearby Iron Age hill fort called Danesborough
Camp, the current name is related to nearby Woburn replacing, thankfully, the
previous name of 'Hogsty End', supposedly at the request of a local
schoolmaster.
These days there are fourteen 'Outstanding' schools within a short drive. The
closest, Aspley Guise Village School, is just five minutes in the car.
Venturing further afield, Milton Keynes is close enough to be handy without
affecting the village's community feel. A twenty minute drive will get you to
the Milton Keynes centre, with its huge shopping centre, lively nightlife and
rail station.
From here it's just twenty five minutes direct to London Euston, adding up to
a forty five minute, door to door commute between town and country.
