Heath and Reach is the most stylish place to live in Bedfordshire, according to a new survey.

The pretty village was the highest rated location in the county in a list of the 60 most stylish places by online store Furniturebox.

In second place in Beds was Elstow, Woburn was third, Pavenham was fourth and Ickwell was fifth.

Locations were ranked according to the beauty of the buildings, the stunning scenery, how ‘Instagrammable’ were the best features and their popularity as a filming location.

Hit movies The Mummy Returns, starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, and The Da Vinci Code were both at the quarry in Heath and Reach.

Furniturebox polled 5,000 people, with panels in each big city and county including Beds.

A Furniturebox spokesperson said: “Heath and Reach is the most stylish place to live in Bedfordshire.

"All 60 places on the list would have been worthy winners and show why the UK is such a stylish country, loved by artists, film-makers and tourists from all over the world.

“What is interesting is how influential Instagram has become in boosting tourism in many of our top 60, particularly around Beds. It is a massive help for visitor numbers, too, if a popular film or TV show uses a town or village as a location.

“Most of the locations in the top 60 are not the most affluent or fashionable in their localities. It shows that style can be achieved whatever your budget - and that is very true of furniture.”
