About this Event

🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾

Join us for an evening walk from Bancroft Park, Milton Keynes on a delightful October evening!

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.

Why you should join:

🐾 Dog-friendly (social pups welcome!)
👋 The first two walks are FREE.
🍬 Free sweets at the halfway point!

❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: Have you ever read a book that made you think "blimey, that was emotional?"

Please arrive by 6.15 pm we will set off at 6.30 pm sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the friendly walk leader. They will brief you and explain how it all works.
