Guc is great fun to ride along

Great place to run with a mixture of path types some super fast (MK Redways) and some smaller paths. Lots of places to stop to eat, buy food and art installations.

The Grand Union Canal was formed to link London, the Nottinghamshire Derbyshire coalfields, and Birmingham under single ownership. The main line of this canal was the Grand Junction Canal (Braunston to Brentford). This was authorised in 1793. It provided a more direct route to London than the existing route of the Oxford Canal and the Thames.

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.

Using the closed Wolverton to Newport Pagnell train line as its base, the ‘Lost Track of Time Railway Walk’ takes you across the north of Milton Keynes through Great Linford and New Bradwell. This is very scenic with good views of the canal.

Great Linford Manor Park is a unique site in Milton Keynes with a history stretching back to at least the Saxon times. Many features of the park, for example the Water Gardens and nearby Wilderness Garden date from the 17th and 18th centuries when the park was laid out to provide the setting to the impressive Manor House, which is now privately owned.
