Things to Do in Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes is a planned city built around green corridors, so the best days out are outdoors. Here are four public places that suit a first meeting.
Willen Lake for a walk around the water
Willen Lake has a path all the way round, a peace pagoda on its shore and plenty of benches. It is one of the most popular places in the city for a slow walk, and busy enough on a dry day to feel comfortable.

Campbell Park for the centre's green space
Campbell Park runs up from the city centre, with open grass, a hill with a view and an amphitheatre. It is close to the shops and stations, so it is easy to reach and easy to leave.

The redways for a cycle or a long stroll
The redways are a network of shared paths that cross the city away from the roads. They suit a long walk or a hired bike, and they link most of the parks and lakes.

Bletchley Park for something with a story
Bletchley Park, where wartime codebreaking took place, is now a museum and a pleasant site to walk round. It is a short journey from the city centre and has a cafe on site.

Distances in a grid city
Milton Keynes was laid out on a grid, so places that look close on a map can be a longer walk than they seem. Milton Keynes Central is the main station, and a short taxi connects it to most of the places above. The lakes are windy even in summer, so bring a layer.
