Milton Keynes is the greenest town in the United Kingdom - and that's official!
Holidu, the search engine for holiday rentals, carried out a study to indentify the areas with the largest area of parks per person.
They used the Open Street Maps database to obtain the surface area of each park of the UK's main towns and cities, and MK came out on top.
They said: 'Milton Keynes, with an average of 15.42m2 of parks per ten inhabitants, is officially crowned the greenest city (well, town) in Britain!
Willen Lake is Milton Keynes' most popular park and even attracts more than 750,000 visitors annually.
The two lakes are surrounded by 180 acres of lush landscaped parkland. There are plenty of activities to do here, both on and around the water. Another must-visit green space in the city is Campbell Park, where you will find picnic areas, water features, woodland and a cricket pitch.'
Of course those of us who live here and make the most of the area have long known how lucky we are, but it's nice that others now know too!
