City Discovery Centre |
| In the heart of modern Milton Keynes, among the new buildings, the roads and roundabouts and only five minutes from the concrete cows, lies an unexpected treat. In 12 acres of woodland, fields, ponds and gardens stands Bradwell Abbey. The last remains of a 12th century Benedictine priory, the Abbey is now one of the city's prime historic sites. Based in the Abbey buildings, the City Discovery Centre manages this dramatic site as a community resource and provides education and information services on the new city of Milton Keynes, its natural environment and its ancient history. |

During the week, the staff of the City Discovery Centre are happy to show visitors around the site or help with local history research using the Centre's extensive library and archive collection.
At weekends there are often special events and on Sundays there is a tea shop and craft shop to refresh and entertain Redway walkers and cyclists.
