As part of the Walking Festival 2026 we're really pleased to share this event with our partners at Milton Keynes Museum.

Starting at the museum, this walk explores the area that inspired some of the city’s earliest community art, beginning with the museum’s own public artworks, including the original Concrete Cows created by community artist Liz Leyh and pieces by local sculptor Bill Billings.  

Meeting point: Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell Drive, Wolverton  MK12 5EL

Walk duration: 2hrs 

Pace: Medium with stops looking at features and artworks 

Once underway the route leads into the parkland at Bancroft, where archaeological features reveal the footprint of the Roman villa that once stood on the site. The walk culminates at the location of the second replica set of Concrete Cows, before we return to the museum to enjoy its many delights.
