Grand Union Canal

The vision is to build a broad waterway which will be part of a linear water park from Milton Keynes to Bedford. The waterway will be a 'thread' with 'beads' of sustainable development - houses, leisure facilities, commerce etc - along its route. This project will create a linear Water Park for Milton Keynes, running from the Grand Union Canal eastwards to the edge of Milton Keynes.

Canal Information

Milton Keynes has a network of cycle paths called redways which are a great way to navigate MK and see the sights. Many of the redways run alongside the canal and provide picturesque cycle routes.
