the Milton Keynes travel guide

4a. Wolverton’s Secret Garden A community-initiated garden set in nice surroundings next to the Grand Union canal.

4b. Bancroft Roman Villa Bancroft houses the ruins of an ancient Roman Villa, excavated in the 1970s and 1980s. The ruins are still open to public and some of the original geometric mosaics of this villa are on display in the city centre shopping mall. 

4c. Concrete Cows These cows, once designed by Liz leyh, an ‘artist in residence’ in the late 1970s, have become the symbol of Milton Keynes. Some of them can be found in the shopping mall, but the ones of here have been placed in their ‘natural habitat’: the green meadows surrounding Milton Keynes.

4d. Bradwell Village and St. Lawrence Church This old Bradwell village includes the Victoria Inn to have lunch, and the beautiful setted Medieval St. Lawrence Church.
