About Tattenhoe Valley Park
Tattenhoe Valley Park is a linear valley park in the south-west of Milton Keynes, cared for by The Parks Trust and free to enter. It follows Tattenhoe Brook as it meanders through the Tattenhoe and Emerson Valley neighbourhoods, linking into the wider Milton Keynes network of parks and redways. The park is valued for its green corridor of grassland, ponds and wildlife areas, and The Parks Trust has carried out habitat work such as using felled trees to block entry points to the ponds and discourage dogs from entering the water. There are children's play areas within the Tattenhoe Valley for families to use, though it is worth noting that the play areas themselves are not managed or maintained by The Parks Trust. Access is generally good along hard-surfaced designated leisure routes, which are well suited to walking, cycling and buggies, although there are some gradients in places. Benches and some picnic tables are provided along the route for resting and picnics. There are no public toilets in the park, and no cafe on site, so facilities are found in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Free parking is available at Rosemullion Avenue and at Washfield / Calverleigh Crescent, with a pick-up and drop-off point on White Horse Drive (MK4 2AR). It is a pleasant, natural green space linking local estates.
