Originally a small village located within the charming county of Buckinghamshire, on the 23rd January 1967, Milton Keynes (MK) was designated as a new city and borough.
Since that date it has grown considerably in size and popularity as a destination to visit, not only for its large Shopping Centre and new Entertainment Venues, but also
within the boundaries of Milton Keynes can still be found quaint Olde English Villages, Stately Homes and many Historic Sites.
Family's can enjoy fun days out at Gullivers Land Theme Park or Xscape where
under one roof you will find a 'real snow' ski slope, 16 screen
cinema, ten-pin bowling and many other attractions.
Shopaholics can go crazy in the central Milton Keynes centre with over 190 shops
to choose from. MK also has great nightlife, perhaps you might like
to take in a show at the MK Theatre or a concert at the National Bowl.
As there is so much to see and do in and around Milton Keynes we have
put together an attractions guide to help you decide what to do
during your stay. You will find it impossible to get around them
all in one visit. Which means you will have to come back time and time again.
