More about this scene
The opening of Woburn Abbey to the general public introduced many to the delights of a rural involvement without the necessity to move home and hearth. It was many years later that the enjoyment given by proximity to the native deer led to the establishment of the safari park as a major part of the attraction of a day out at Woburn. In the mid-1960s the Bedfordshire branch of the Sporting Owner Drivers Club (SODC - known as The Sods) used a steep hill not too far from the location of this picture as the regular venue for a series of hill-climbing events.
