  • The Parks Trust Self-Guided Walks: North Loughton Valley Park
    The Parks Trust Self-Guided Walks: North Loughton Valley Park Walk revised by Peter Burrett, Tuesday 20th August 2013 Start point The City Discovery Centre off Alston Drive in Bradwell Abbey. Alston Drive is accessed directly off the Stacey Bushes roundabout on the A422 Monks Way (H3), about 0.5 kilometres east of the Abbey Hill junction of the A5. There is a free car park immediately off Alston Drive, but If there is space, drive on a short distance to a further free car park in front of the group of buildings that make up the Discovery Centre. Milton Keynes City Discovery Centre informs visitors about urban geography and new city planning, as well as the historical and natural heritage of Milton Keynes. Walk overview This is an elongated circular walk, finishing back at the Discovery Centre. The entire route is within The North Loughton Valley Park. The walking is easy along footpaths and red ways, but because one section takes you over a stepped railway bridge it is not suitable for wheelchair users. Distances & times Circular walk; Discovery Centre – Bradwell Abbey Chapel - Loughton Brook – St Lawrence Church, Bradwell – Roman Villa – Concrete Cows – Discovery Centre = 2.5 miles, 90 minutes. There are no formal refreshment stops, but many benches / picnic tables along the route and opportunities for picnics at several grassy spaces. The circular walk Standing in the car park you will see grade two listed Bradwell Abbey Manor House to your left. The house was built in the early 1600s, but altered in later centuries. Walk down the short concrete pathway between the Manor House and a paddock until you see St Mary’s Chapel, just beyond the Manor House on your right.

  • Bradwell Profile Final Version
    STANTONBURY ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP Milton Keynes Diocese of Oxford INTERIM MINISTER APPOINTMENT Pastor of Bradwell and Leader of Partnership Review (The Bradwell Church congregation) MINISTRY DESCRIPTION and PARTNERSHIP PROFILE APRIL 2018 1 Welcome to the Stantonbury Team! Dear Prospective Colleague, We are delighted that you have decided to look at the Interim Minister’s post with us. We hope you’ll find the details in this profile helpful, informative and sufficient to whet your appetite to find out more either on the internet, in a phone call, or by deciding to pay us a visit. Our Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) consists of six congregations situated across much of the northern part of Milton Keynes. There is a wide range of different socio-economic groups that make up the population we serve and from whom we draw our membership. As throughout our carefully planned city, industry, offices, retail and other workplaces are disbursed throughout the different ‘grid squares’ along with primary and secondary schools and residential areas. There are also some large areas of recreational parkland, and a number of lakes, historic buildings and ancient villages, as well as much 20th century housing in a kind of mixed economy. So, it is a stimulating and interesting place to pursue mission and ministry in the name of Christ. However, these opportunities also present us with considerable challenges, and it is through the idea of an Interim Minister that we hope to address the issues that face us with courage, imagination and faithfulness to our calling to be Christ’s people in this place.

Abstract The new town of Milton Keynes (MK) is home to a globally renowned grid system, comprising vertical and horizontal grid roads, uniquely intertwined by a network of pedestrian and cycle paths, known as ‘Redways.’ This paper explores how this transport infrastructure affects the way the population of MK travels, through the use of a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews. A wide range of the relevant literature is reviewed and the data gained from the questionnaire and interviews is examined, using both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis.
