Kensworth

England

Kensworth perches on the Chiltern Hills in Central Bedfordshire, offering fine views across the chalk downs. Reach it via the A4146 from M1 Junction 9, about three miles south through typical Chiltern countryside. The village serves as a quiet base for London Luton Airport, just eight miles northeast, and benefits from over 150 public EV charging points in the surrounding area. Kensworth hosts England's largest working chalk quarry, a massive Cemex operation that's been extracting chalk for cement since the early 1900s.
