After gcses I'm looking into biking around MK and I was hpoing to see soe great places to bike around south, possibly east, western and central MK.

Willen lake is lovely, honestly all the lakes and parks are great. I quite often just take my bike out for a wander when the weather's good and go exploring. If I get lost I can follow the signs on the red way ( usually pretty good) or I can pop my Google maps on and it has all the red ways on it. If you're gonna stop up somewhere make sure you've got your bike lock, some places can be ever so slightly dodgy for a lone bike. But honestly I adore the cycling infrastructure in MK!

I’d second this, also big mention to Caldecotte lake as the pathways there also link up directly into some of the other parks heading up to Simpson, Ouzel valley and willen lake. I haven’t done it myself but I imagine that’s a fantastic ride

The route up through Ouzel valley is my favourite in MK.

You can bike around MK in a single trip if you're interested in a single trip. It's pretty fun following most of the millennium cycle route. You'll cross ~5 little roads in 30km

Starting at Great Linford Manor, cycle down the canal.
Head down all the way to Peartree Bridge, cross the canal and head up hospital hill.
Go all the way up, behind the college, and take a fork down to Bleak Hall recycling
Keep going and you'll cross the A5 and end up by the Bowl
Turn right, following the bowl round, and go through Teardrop Lakes, Houghton, and Lodge Lake.
Follow the readway north going under the railway line and over the canal on a bridge in a tunnel.
Through Brad well, see the Concrete Cows, and through the park to New Bradwell.
Then either follow the canal or the old railway line all the way to Great Linford

I'll try to link a map of the route
