Plenty to do in MK, mate. Ski-ing, cinema, dining, clubbing - anything you want to do. And plenty of scoobie's around the area too!!

It could be ace to live round there, in terms of things to do. But for driving through it is utterly soul destroying.

It goes like this...

Straight
Roundabout
Straight
Traffic Lights
Straight
Traffice Lights
Straight
Rounabout...

Repeat 526 times.

It is the most boring driving experience since the Sinclair C5 quarter mile time trials.

I spent a year near MK whilst I did my MBA at Cranfield and contrary to most of the above, struggle to find a good word to say about the place to be honest.

I've got relatives that live in MK, been there quite a few times. I quite like it for a short break. Stayed at the Jurys for 3 nights in June whilst over for a family wedding, had a good time, restaurants we went to were good, and only 5 mins walk from the shopping centre. Oh and the concrete cows are on display right in the middle of the newer part of the shopping centre.

That's cruel, they should be allowed to graze! Who feeds them?

Think there's a Costa or Starbucks nearby, and a Waterstones for a good read

Willen Lakes, that's it! Had Woughton on the brain, we stayed at the Parkside hotel earlier this year, by Ye Olde Swan.

Don't stay in city centre if you can help it. Stony stratford is much nicer and has decent pubs and places to eat not the ****e you get in the centre. There is plenty to do and scooby+roundabout+rain is great fun. Very safe for the car IMO
