The rules around Milton Keynes
In England you may walk on public rights of way, on open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, and in woodland the Forestry Commission opens to the public. We hold all three for Buckinghamshire, and a walk that leaves them is refused before you ever see it.
We have read the dog orders of every council in Buckinghamshire, and a walk here tells you when it crosses a place an order names.
We checked Buckinghamshire for military live-firing ground and found none. The military sites on the map here are barracks, cadet huts and indoor ranges, none of them open ground a walk could wander onto.
