The historic town of Dunstable is the oldest charter town in Bedfordshire. Nestling on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, just 30 miles from London, Dunstable is a popular place to buy and rent. The town boasts a variety of property types, from period houses to new builds and modern conversions. Its proximity to London and excellent transport links – including the M1, London Luton Airport and the M25 less than 20 miles away – makes it a prime location for commuters. Surrounded by beautiful countryside including Dunstable Downs – the highest point in the East of England – Dunstable is an area ideal for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits. The Chilterns, the Whipsnade Estate, including ZSL Whitsnade Zoo, are all worth a visit. There are also numerous golf clubs and leisure facilities within the area.
