Open Homes workspaceAbout Dunstable
Dunstable is a Bedfordshire market town at the foot of the Chiltern Downs, located where the ancient Icknield Way meets Watling Street. It grew around Dunstable Priory, where Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled in 1533, a key moment in the English Reformation. The town later developed around straw-plaiting, hat-making and coaching routes. Today Dunstable offers relatively affordable rentals close to Luton, the M1 and Dunstable Downs.
