North lake is full of wildlife

Willen Lake North is part of the larger Willen Lake in Milton Keynes. The north side is well-known for its wildlife, particularly bird species, and offers quieter walking paths for nature lovers. The lake also includes scenic views of the famous Peace Pagoda, a Buddhist monument built in 1980 by the Nipponzan Myohoji order, which is one of the most iconic landmarks in the area.

Great Lake to run around, paths are a little bumpy but that doesn’t spoil the run

This is a stunning vantage point to look out at the tranquility and beauty of Willen Lake. A super place to come to blow off some cobwebs.

Tongwell Lake seems to be Milton Keynes’ very own swan haven. The path around the lake is easy to follow as it only takes around 30 minutes to walk the whole way round. At times it’s not possible to see the lake through the reeds and bushes but in the openings you can enjoy some nice views of nature. There’s a large island in the middle of the lake, so if you’re a birdwatcher we recommend bringing some binoculars to spot any birds over there.

Nice lake that can be found in Marston Vale Millennium Country Park. There are plenty of trails around the lake to chose from, all with that great view of the lake.

There are some secluded spots, accessible via gaps in the shrubbery, great way to rest your feet or have a quick spot of lunch. Particularly peaceful on a warm sunny day.

We did the 3.63 mile loop from Harrold Odell county park. It's a fab park and route, although you'll need wellies after a wet winter! There is also a lot of farmland in the area and we heard bird scarers almost the whole way round, even walking through the village, so if you're bringing a dog with a noise aversion, you may want to keep them on the lead.
