The city has been a fantastic success, but what’s less appreciated is its role as a forest city. Around 25% of the urban area is covered in parks, lakes and green spaces, and as of 2018, 22 million trees and shrubs call the city’s public spaces home.

Bletchley Blue Lagoon
Bletchley’s Blue Lagoon was birthed from the mouldering remains of former brickworks that was flooded and repurposed into a local nature reserve. The name comes from the pure blue colour of the pit, now concealed by the calm water. If you head down at the weekend, you might see Milton Keynes Sub-Aqua Club. They use the lagoon for diving, as the under the surface has been planted a bus, two cars, and a light aircraft for divers to discover.
