About
Woburn Sands
Woburn Sands is a town that straddles the border between Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire in England, and is part of the Milton Keynes urban area. The larger part of the town is in Woburn Sands civil parish, which is in the City of Milton Keynes, The built-up area of the town extends continuously to include much of the neighbouring parishes of Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath, with no natural boundaries to set them apart. The meandering boundary between Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire means the Lower and Middle Schools that serve all of the town are both in Aspley Guise CP. Bedfordshire Police and Thames Valley Police both deal with law enforcement issues in the town. At the 2021 Census, the population of the civil parish (only) was 3.646. The population of the contiguous built-up area was 4,310.
