ABOUT THE WALK

If you haven’t explored Bancroft Park or the historic Bradwell Abbey ruins, you’re in for a treat! This walk is just under 4 miles and offers a fantastic mix of sights and history. 🏛️

We'll start by spotting the gigantic dragonfly sculpture and then meander along the river, crossing over a picturesque bridge. You’ll also have the chance to see the intriguing Bradwell Abbey ruins, where the remnants of this old site echo its rich history. 🏰 And keep an eye out for the eerie **wooden monk**—a bit of a local mystery!

Along the way, you might spot the famous Concrete Cows—an iconic piece of local art that’s become a quirky symbol of Milton Keynes. 🐄
