The Iron Trunk (aka Cosgrove Aqueduct) is a navigable cast iron trough aqueduct that carries the Grand Union Canal over the River Great Ouse at Milton Keynes. Formed of two cast iron trough spans, with a single central masonry pier, it is the world's first wide canal cast iron trough aqueduct.

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.

Quick pit-stop to gawk at the Iron Trunk Aqueduct that carries the Grand Union Canal over the River Great Ouse. The paths leading up to and beyond the aqueduct are flat, paved, and run along the riverside.

A beautiful little hidden secret garden. Entrance is via the road bridge close to the railway station. Lovely place 👍
