The Parks Trust has launched a 25-mile walking challenge and is calling on residents to try and complete it in a day.
The challenge, which sees you pass through masses of parkland, can also be completed over the course of several days.
You will start the #mk25milewalk in one of Milton Keynes' semi-ancient woodlands, Howe Park Wood, then be guided through the Tattenhoe Valley, to Furzton Lake and along the Loughton Valley and on to Lodge Lake.
You’ll be introduced to the famous concrete cows as you make your way up through the North Loughton Valley and to the edge of Linford Lakes Nature Reserve. Turning south you’ll pass through Linford Manor and join the Grand Union Canal to Willen Lake and onto Campbell Park where you will discover many pieces of artwork and one of the best viewing points in Milton Keynes.
The final part of the route follows the River Ouzel, through Ouzel Valley Park finishing at Caldecotte Lake.
The Parks Trust has created downloadable instructions to follow, and there are lots of waymarked signs on the route.
"You can complete this walk at anytime of year; be careful in wetter weather and be prepared for some kissing gates, cattle grids and steps in some locations," they said.
"Watch out for our livestock being grazed in some of our parkland, ensure dogs are on a lead in these areas and in woodlands in the bird nesting season. Some of the route encompasses bridleway please do give way to the horse and rider if you meet any on the bridle path."
Once you finish the challenge, you can also download a printable certificate.
