シンプソンとアッシュランドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

May 2025 - The Pub has now reopened under new management.

In 1805 the Grand Unicon canal from London to Braunston opened, passing through Fenny Stratford. To overcome a local problem during construction a temporary lock was installed here at Fenny Stratford and still remains to this day. There is a pub here namely the Red Lion public house and the lock keeper's house still stands and adds a tad of historic ambience to the place.

Caldecotte lake is another hugely popular lake in Milton Keynes. With grass bank verges to take in the sunshine and acres of open space to take in the fresh air. Here you can escape the hustle and bustle of the day to day life of the city.

This is a lovely view of one of the spurs of Caldecotte lake and of the river Ouzel for that matter.

Fenny Stratford Lock was initially built to aid construction of the canal. It stuck around because it was deemed too costly to remove. It's a pretty location featuring a pub, The Red Lion, and a former lockkeeper's cottage.

This picturesque and tranquil lake located in the city of Milton Keynes offers plenty to do. Whether you're after a scenic stroll, picnic, cycle, or you want to try out some water sports, this is the place for you.
