Walk & Talk: The Secret Life of Elfield Nature Park
Elfield Park Nature Reserve is one of Milton Keynes' best kept secrets! This wildlife haven is nestled in the industrial surrounds of Milton Keynes Bowl and is home to an incredible array of wildlife and even some honeybee hives.
Join our team for a guided walk of this exclusive park which is otherwise closed to the public. Your guide will tell you all about the wildlife that can be found here, how we monitor and protect it, and other ways that you can get involved with this fascinating park.
This walk is suitable for anyone age 12+ with an interest in wildlife and the parks of Milton Keynes. All under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult. Booking is essential.
Elfield Nature Park is a small park, so the walk will not cover a large distance, and will be led at a leisurely pace. The terrain is mostly uneven and gravelly and there are occasional newt barriers that we will have to step over. There are also areas of wooden boardwalk and steep "natural" steps (wooden bordered steps inserted into the muddy hill) with a handrail. There is one seating area up the top of this hill, towards the end of the walk. Other than that there are no benches available on this route so you may wish to bring a portable stool with you if required.
The nearest toilets and refreshments are at The Italian Sul Lago at Furzton Lake.
We would love to make these sessions enjoyable for all, so please contact us on outdoorlearning@theparkstrust.com for any further accessibility information or support. A hearing loop is available on request.
