About the Canal Broadwalk

The Grand Union Canal enters Milton Keynes at the Ouse Valley Park at Old Wolverton and snakes in a dramatic arc right through the east of the city until it leaves Milton Keynes at Water Eaton in Bletchley. The canal provides a direct link with the area's industrial past, but also a wealth of leisure opportunities for today's residents.

The Canal Broadwalk offers a fantastic route through some of Milton Keynes' most beautiful parks including the newly resorted Great Linford Manor Park, the iconic Campbell Park and Newlands Remembrance Walk.

Among the things to look out for en route are the Great Linford Brick Kilns, the Gyosei Art Trail, the boat basin at Pennylands, the avenue of Lombardy Poplar trees and a boardwalk through the reeds between Giffard Park and Willen Park.
