In "The Protector's War", a post-apocalyptic alternate history novel by S. M. Stirling, Woburn Abbey serves as a prison for an English knight; the knight is rescued and flees to the Willamette Valley of Oregon in what was the United States of America.
V filmu in televiziji je bil Woburn Abbey uporabljen kot lokacija za snemanje filmov in programov, vključno "The Iron Maiden" (1962), "The Flower of Gloster" (1967 ) in "Treasure Hunt" (1986).
