Milton Country Park,
Milton,
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
Formerly farmland, both arable and pasture, The Country Park owes much of
its present appearance to the extraction of gravel and sand for the building
of roads and houses from the 1930's to 1960. When sand and gravel extraction
ceased around 1960, the site became overgrown with thick hawthorn and willow
scrub and entered a period of neglect and misuse that ended in 1990 when
work started on the Country Park.
Admission is free.
