Milton Creek Country Park The results of ÂŁ2million of central government investment have taken shape at Milton Creek Country Park. The former landfill site has been transformed into a fantastic resource for local people and wildlife. There is a play area, events space and natural amphitheatre near Holy Trinity Church, and towards the

Creek there is a variety of habitats for an abundance of wildlife. The Saxon Shore Way along the west bank of the Creek is now fully accessible for people with pushchairs and wheelchairs.
