Nice view and some interesting pieces of art around. The park itself maintains the feel of being 'constructed' rather than grown.

The MK Rose is a big round monument in Campbell Park, with lots of different height & coloured pillars arranged in concentric circles around a central point. 'Designed for commemoration, celebration and contemplation' according to the website... certainly an interesting sight if you've never seen it or found it by accident like me lol.

Public school-boy favourite for stone-skipping and a spot of fishing on the sly. We had a picnic on the bank - it's a lovely place.

Linford Wood is located 1 km north of Central Milton Keynes within ‘Linford Wood grid-square’. Linford Wood has been woodland for at least 700 years. It was enclosed as a deer park in 1284 with a bank, ditch and fence, providing for hunting, pig pannage and other grazing and was managed for several centuries as part of the Great Linford Manor Estate. The wood was connected to its north-east by a tree-lined lane to Great Linford village and the Manor House.

One of the first areas of the garden that visitors may encounter is the Octagon Lake and the features associated with it. The lake was originally designed as a formal octagonal pool, with sharp corners, as part of the seventeenth century formal gardens. Over the years, the shape of the pond was softened, gradually harmonising it within Stowe's increasingly naturalistic landscape. Source: Wikipedia
