Milton country park

• Milton Country Park is now owned and looked after by Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust.

Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust plans to introduce some new activities to the park and is looking at funding opportunities to rebuild the visitor centre with a proper café area and meeting room.

Formerly farmland, both arable and pasture, Milton Country Park owes much of its present appearance to the extraction of sand and gravel for the building of roads and houses from about 1930 to 1960. However, the first material taken from the site was clay, in much smaller quantities, by Romano British potters about 1800 years previously.

When sand and gravel extraction ceased around 1960, the site became overgrown with thick hawthorn and willow scrub and entered a period of neglect and misuse that ended in 1990 when work started on the Country Park. This work continued until 1993, the year the Park opened to the public.

Milton Country Park has so much to offer

• A haven of peace and quiet not far from the city of Cambridge

• Dogs are welcome but please remember that byelaws relating to dogs on leads and 'poop scoops' are in operation.
