Furtzon Lake loop and Tattenhoe Valley Park loop

Embark on an easy hike around Furzton Lake and through Tattenhoe Valley Park, a popular route in Milton Keynes. This accessible trail covers 3.5 miles (5.6 km) with a gentle elevation gain of just 66 feet (20 metres), making it suitable for most. You can expect to complete the loop in about 1 hour and 26 minutes, enjoying open views of the lake and the meandering Tattenhoe brook.

The trail features mostly well-surfaced, paved paths, which means it is friendly for buggies, wheelchairs, and scooters in many areas. However, be aware that some side paths in Tattenhoe Valley Park are grass-only and can get muddy after rain. You will find amenities like a lakeside cafe at Furzton Lake, and benches are available in Tattenhoe Valley Park for a rest.

This route offers a diverse natural experience, from the peaceful waters of Furzton Lake, a floodwater basin now home to wildlife, to the series of ponds and small woodlands in Tattenhoe Valley Park. Keep an eye out for various birds and insects. The park also includes a trim trail with fitness stations and fun stepping stones across the brook, adding unique elements to your outdoor adventure.
