About

Linford Wood is a residential neighbourhood situated in the northwest of Milton Keynes. The area is primarily composed of housing estates built from the 1970s onwards, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. It is bordered by the A422 to the north and the Grand Union Canal to the south, providing clear geographical boundaries. Local amenities include several schools, convenience stores, and a community centre serving the immediate population.
