Much has happened to Milton Keynes since 1967 when an area of
almost 22,000 acres (8,910ha) was designated for the construction
of a new city. But why Milton Keynes? The planners and architects
of the day considered its location at the heart of England to be
just about perfect. Centrally positioned within the country, only
an hour from London by car on the new M1 motorway and easily
accessible by train, the city's communication links were seen as
ideal. This walk that takes in the sights of the new town.
