I’d agree with Ampthill there, and please just listen to the people that have actually lived in or about here as its so easy to slag off where people live with no real knowledge like some of the ass ole comments above. I’m mobile with my work , rent at the moment so have no ties, and I still choose to live in MK even though its 50 odd miles from where I’m working at the mo. it has some beautiful parks, lakes, walks , not bad shopping , good fast roads, some very expensive lovely estates, and its rough ones, but almost all my friends/workmates/ family that eventually come here to visit like the area after I’ve shown them the attractions. I really can’t see you being disappointed when you come here , and don’t forget to let us all know so you can be shown the local trails :)
