Overview

A circular walk starting from Stanton Low car park. Walking through various green areas of north Milton Keynes including Linford Wood, around Stanton Wood and past the iconic concrete cows. We will follow part of Swan's Way and then the Grand Union canal before heading to our lunch stop at Old Stratford. We return through Stony Stratford nature reserve, past the site of the medieval village of Wolverton and along the Great Ouse and then the Grand Union again back to Stanton.
