Ancient Market Town!

Stony Stratford may now be on the outskirts of the modern city of Milton Keynes, but historically it was an important market town that has stood since Roman Times on the route from London to Chester. It's Anglo-Saxon name means "stony ford on a Roman road". It is separated along the border of Northants by the Great Ouse River. 

We will head into surrounding countryside, meander along the river Ouse, visit an historic church and the very impressive Iron Trunk Aqueduct, before walking across lovely open fields to the lost village of Furtho, with it's very pretty dovecote and lake.
