Best walks from Milton Keynes Central

Milton Keynes Central Station to Woburn Sands Station

A scenic, mostly off-road route through Milton Keynes connecting green spaces by footpaths, ramps and wide underpasses, well segregated from traffic. Surfaces vary from grass, compacted mud and stone and wood bark to mostly tarmac. There are kissing gates and an avoidable flight of steps.

Easy: 10km, moderate ascents.

Kissing gates at the Woburn Sands end may restrict accessibility. One avoidable flight of steps near Peartree Bridge. Steps down to the Grand Union Canal can be bypassed by ramp.

Milton Keynes Central Station to Bletchley Station

Makes the most of Milton Keynes' pedestrian network: roughly a third on paths beside roads, the majority on alleys and metalled paths through parklands, open spaces and suburbia. Mostly flat and surfaced; some sections exposed and with steps at Furzton Lake. Passes Teardrop Lakes and Furzton Lake; the National Museum of Computing is reached via the main Bletchley Park entrance; a step-free alternative exists.

6km.

Steps at Furzton Lake have no handrail; a short section runs alongside the busy, fast Watling Street.

Lunch: A refreshment bar with outdoor seating next to an Italian restaurant at Furzton Lake.
