For the modern seeker, Bedfordshire is a landscape where the old ways feel remarkably close to the surface, offering a quiet and potent sanctuary for spiritual connection. Beyond the famous peaks of the Chilterns, the county is dotted with sites that resonate deeply with Pagan practice, from the Neolithic water-energy of Waulud’s Bank to the ancestral presence found at the Five Knolls barrows. Whether you are drawn to the hidden heathen history of places like Harrowden (the hill of the shrine), the clear, purifying waters of the Chalk Springs, or the creative, community-led spirit of the new Luton Henge, Bedfordshire offers a diverse tapestry of sacred spaces. It is a county that invites you to look past the modern bustle and rediscover a living relationship with the land, the ancestors, and the shifting cycles of the year.
