Milton Keynes City car rental - Travel Guide |
 |
Milton Keynes is a city in the South East of England.
Get in
Milton Keynes is conveniently located on both the M1 motorway and the West Coast Main Line, and as a result there are a large number of ways to both enter and leave the town.
The M1 motorway connects London with Birmingham, before continuing north to Liverpool and Manchester. Milton Keynes is approximately half-way between London and Birmingham. There are also links east and west on the A40 to Bedford, Cambridge and Oxford.
Coach services to many cities can be taken from either the town centre or the Coachway, located near the motorway junction and a short taxi ride from the town centre.
Rail connections are maintained by Virgin and Silverlink, and frequent trains connect to London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and further north.
Get around
Public transport within Milton Keynes has never been great - it is a city where the car is king. The buses are small, irregular and have circuitous routes. There may be some element of chicken-and-egg here; is the poor bus service responsible for the popularity of the car, or vice-versa? As most busses pass by both the central train station and the main shopping centre getting between them is easy.
In part, the dominance of the car is helped by the road layout - the main roads of the city are laid out in a grid system with roundabouts at the intersections, so getting about is quick (except in rush hour). Visitors who drive to Milton Keynes often get lost on these roads, because they all look the same - the main roads are in tree-lined linear valleys to reduce road noise so there are few landmarks visible to navigate by.
Pedestrians and cyclists have their own network of 'redways' - paths made of red tarmac that broadly follow the grid roads but never meet them, either crossing over or underneath. The redways are a good way to get about during the day, but at night some of the underpasses can be dangerous places.
See
Do
Milton Keynes has a number of attractions for the adventurous. Willen Lake has a wakeboard tow rope system, the Xscape has an indoor snow slope, a climbing wall and an indoor skydiving tower, the central bus station has a skate park and there's a BMX track at Pineham.
Families with younger children might like to head for the Gulliver's Land theme park, or take a stroll and have a picnic at the nearby Willen Lake.
The MK Dons play home games at the National Hockey Stadium, though a new stadium is being created in the south of the city.
Reflecting the local value of the car culture, a growing car cruise and meet is staged in the car parks around the Hockey Stadium on Sunday nights, and it is popular both with modders and the police.
The Milton Keynes Theatre is billed as the country's "most popular" and it possibly is. Travelling shows and longer running productions are staged here.
Buy
The Centre: MK is the main shopping mall for the surrounding area and is where most of the shopping in Milton Keynes is to be had, even though it is full of chain stores. The High Street in Stony Stratford offers a pleasant but small alternative. Most residential areas have their own convenience store.
There are various retail parks with the larger DIY, carpet, furniture and warhouse-stlye clothes shops.
Drink
On a summer evening a trip to the theatre district / Xscape almost transports you to a Spanish holiday resort, such are the number of bars and clubs with people walking between them. Not much for a CAMRA member here though, as its more for the bottle of Bud or Smirnoff Ice crowd.
More traditional pubs can be found along the Stony Stratford high street, though this area is popular for pub crawls at weekends.
