About

Bow Brickhill and Woburn Sands form a distinct area on the southern edge of Milton Keynes, characterised by their proximity to ancient woodland. The landscape is dominated by the Greensand Ridge, with Bow Brickhill village nestled against the wooded slopes. This area retains a more traditional, village-like atmosphere compared to the central grid squares, with older brick and flint buildings. The presence of the Grand Union Canal adds a linear waterway through the surroundings.

A key feature is the extensive Aspley Heath and Brickhills woodland, part of the wider Forest of Marston Vale. Woburn Sands functions as the main local service centre with its high street. The area is defined by this blend of residential settlement, retail space, and significant protected forest. The Woburn Sands railway station provides a direct link to central Milton Keynes and beyond, integrating these communities into the larger city's transport network.
