The Biddenham dovecote was a structure located in Biddenham, a village in Bedfordshire, England. Built on the order of Elizabeth Boteler in 1706, in a field to the west of the carp pond now known as the village pond, the dovecote provided meat and eggs for the Biddenham Manor table.The dovecote was a square timber-framed building with brick in between and plastered over. It had a hipped tiled roof with four gabled dormers, whose ridges met at the apex which was crowned with an ornamental finial. The 461 nests inside were built on elm wood boards, some of brick and clay, mixed with straw and cow dung. The clay for building nests in the dovecote and for building the village's wattle and daub houses came from clay pits in Biddenham village.It is not known when the dovecote ceased to be used for its original purpose. After falling into disrepair, it was restored in 1932 with advice from Sir Albert Richardson, a leading English architect, and teacher and writer about architecture during the first half of the 20th century, who lived in Ampthill in Bedfordshire. The dovecote was restocked with four pairs of town pigeons given royal names but was demolished in 1966.

Hanger Wood is an ancient woodland and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in the parish of Stagsden, Bedfordshire in the United Kingdom. Situated approximately one kilometre east of the village of Stagsden, the 24.12 hectares (59.6 acres) woodland was declared a SSSI in 1988, being described by Natural England as "one of the best remaining examples of wet ash-maple woodland in Bedfordshire". The name "Hanger" comes from Old English/Anglo-Saxon term for "wood on a hill" or "wooded hill", applied to Hanger Wood due to its situation on a northwest-facing slope of a narrow ridge. Commenting on the wood's character, A. Simco said in 1984 that "It has been strongly influenced by the geology and topography of the area, particularly by the south-west/north-east boulder clay ridge along which the parish boundary runs."There is currently no public access to Hanger Wood.
