Milton Keynes (or known locally as MK), is located within the charming
county of Buckinghamshire, with the wonderful scenery of the Chilterns,
brick-and-flint built houses and lavish stately homes. MK is called
the new city, you may well assume that is no history or heritage
- as you will see from these pages this is far from the truth. Family's
can enjoy fun days out at Gullivers Land Theme Park or Xscape where
under one roof you will find a 'real snow' ski slope, 16 screen
cinema, ten-pin bowling & other attractions. Shopaholics can
go crazy in the central Milton Keynes centre with over 190 shops
to choose from. MK also has great nightlife, perhaps you might like
to take in a show at the MK Theatre or a concert at the National
Bowl. For golfers, Abbey Hill Golf Course is only 100 yards away
from the hotel and offers preferential rates to guests of the quality
hotel Milton Keynes.
As
there is so much to see and do in and around Milton Keynes we have
put together an attractions guide to help you decide what to do
during your stay. You will find it impossible to get around them
all in one visit. Which means you will have to come back time and
time again.
