The Midshires Way is a cracking long-distance footpath that runs from the Chiltern Hills through the Midlands counties of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, to Stockport, Greater Manchester. It's about 230 miles long and the trail around Milton Keynes is particularly scnenic.
