Milton Keynes is close to being a city, with everything but the blessing from the Queen (at the time of writing this article). Other than that, it’s a great place to be.
Milton Keynes is just fifty years old and is unlike any other place in the UK. It’s famous for its roundabouts, concrete cows and horizontal and vertical road grid system.
There are so many activities that we can do with our families within Milton Keynes. We have detailed some below:

Within Milton Keynes, there are several woodland areas, lakes, many parks and walkways.
Milton Keynes has a walkway system throughout the whole of the up-and-coming city called ‘the redway system’ that enables you to walk and bike around the whole of Milton Keynes without going on the road.
Bletchley Park
Bletchley Park was crucial in winning World War II. During the war, several mathematicians worked tirelessly to break Germany’s code during World War II. These people are called the ‘Codebreakers’, and during the war, it was Britain’s best-kept secret.
Centrally Located In The UK
Milton Keynes was located very central between London and Birmingham, on the main M1 motorway. This is also the same as on the train line, where you can easily get to both London and Birmingham in less than an hour.
