Milton Keynes is a quaint town about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of London. Part of its charm is its buzzworthy concrete cow sculptures. The whimsical art installation has become a kind of mascot for the town. You can view replicas at Bancroft Park or see the originals at Milton Keynes Museum. As it comes with an abundance of green spaces, its great outdoors is also a lure for many. Check out Willen Lake, where you can engage in water recreation or ride the network of bike paths.
