On the Woburn Estate, Paris House is a handsome, black-and-white, half-timbered structure to which the 9th duke of Bedford took a shine while visiting the French capital. He shipped it back here, and it now holds Bedfordshire's top fine-dining restaurant, serving exquisite six- to 10-course tasting menus of beautifully presented contemporary cuisine.
