The largest settlement in Buckinghamshire and a very busy city, Milton Keynes is perhaps known best for its shopping, distinctive roundabouts and iconic concrete cows. This city cleverly blends the modern with plenty of green spaces, and doesn’t look too different to the picturesque Buckinghamshire countryside that was there before it became a city. Milton Keynes is a young city and is the home to a number of award-winning galleries and theatres, plus there is plenty of history such as the medieval abbey ruins. Bletchley Park is perhaps one of the most famous attractions that history lovers want to visit, the historic site that is synonymous with the World War II codebreakers.
