Landmarks and attractions
The city was designed in 1967 around a grid of main roads, wide green spaces and connected parks and lakes such as Willen Lake and Caldecotte Lake. Well known sights include the concrete cows, the covered centre:mk shopping centre, the Xscape leisure building with its indoor ski slope, and the MK Rose. Just to the south, Bletchley Park tells the story of wartime codebreaking and Alan Turing.
