A scenic bike ride through Ouse Valley Park with our dog, exploring the stunning parklands and incredible historical landmarks in the north of Milton Keynes.
The tour highlights the seamless connection between nature, wildlife with iconic British engineering. There’s aerial footage of:
* Ouse Valley Park: A beautiful regional park featuring well-maintained paths perfect for walking and cycling.
* Wolverton Viaduct: Robert Stephenson’s historic 1838 red and blue brick railway bridge, which carries the West Coast Main Line 57 feet above the River Great Ouse.
* Cosgrove Aqueduct (The Iron Trunk): Completed in 1811, this is the world’s first wide-canal, cast-iron trough aqueduct, suspending the Grand Union Canal 40 feet in the air over the river.
* Holy Trinity Church: The picturesque church stands directly on the historic site of the 12th-century Wolverton Motte and Bailey earthworks.
