Visit Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is a very different kind of British city. Planned and developed largely from the late 1960s onwards, it was designed with modern living in mind, with wide roads, extensive green spaces and a network of paths that make it surprisingly easy to get around.

The city is perhaps best known for its famous concrete cows, but there is much more to Milton Keynes than its unusual landmarks. It has become a thriving centre for business, shopping, entertainment and leisure, while retaining an impressive amount of open countryside and parkland.

One of its most appealing features is the balance between town and nature. You can enjoy modern shopping and restaurants one moment, then find yourself beside a lake, walking through a park or exploring the countryside a short distance away.

Milton Keynes may not have the historic charm of some British cities, but that is precisely what makes it interesting. It represents a different chapter in Britain’s urban story — a city designed not around the past, but around the future.
