Many high-profile companies are also based in the town, including Red Bull Racing and Mercedes Benz, and there is a higher than average number of start-up businesses in the area, making it a great place to work as well as live.
History
Milton Keynes was built in the late 1960s and early 70s and so is considered a young town. However, it does still have a rich history. For example, during World War II enemy code-cracking took place in Bletchley Park, and the Aston Martin car comes from nearby Newport Pagnell.
Although it’s still officially a town, the people of Milton Keynes are on a mission to get city status and hope this will be granted by the queen in 2022.
Campbell Park
Finally, one of the town’s gems is the beautiful Campbell Park. As well as offering beautiful walks and scenery, it also hosts various events throughout the year, including food fairs, funfairs and open-air cinema events.
