Milton Keynes: planned city, codebreaking landscape and open learning
Milton Keynes was planned as a New Town around a distinctive grid of major roads, broad landscaping and separated walking and cycling routes. Destination Milton Keynes describes around 200 miles of Redways, while Milton Keynes City Council notes more than 300 km of dedicated off-road walking and cycling routes.
Bletchley Park gives the city-region a second technical language: Enigma, Bombe, Lorenz, Colossus and signals intelligence. The Open University, headquartered at Walton Hall, adds a third system built around distance learning and open access to higher education.

Milton Keynes vocabulary questions
What makes the Redways distinctive?
They form an extensive off-road walking and cycling network separated from much of the city’s major motor traffic.
Did the Bombe decode Enigma by itself?
No. Human cryptanalysts developed cribs and menus; the Bombe systematically searched possible machine settings that still needed checking.
Why include the Open University?
Its Milton Keynes headquarters makes the city important not only for urban planning and wartime computing history but also for the modern history of distance education.
