WHAT DOES BEDFORDSHIRE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bedfordshire

Bedfordshire is a ceremonial county of historic origin in the East of England region of the United Kingdom. It borders the non-metropolitan counties of Cambridgeshire to the north-east, Northamptonshire to the north, Buckinghamshire to the west, and Hertfordshire to the south-east. For statistical purposes the county forms part of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire at the level of NUTS 2. The highest elevation point is 243 metres on Dunstable Downs in the Chilterns. As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation charity Plantlife chose the Bee Orchid as the county flower. The traditional nickname for people from Bedfordshire is "Bedfordshire Bulldogs" or "Clangers", the latter deriving from a local dish comprising a suet crust pastry filled with meat in one end and jam in the other. It is the 14th most densely populated county of England. Over half the population of the county live in the two largest built up areas of Bedford and Luton.
