We will begin the tour in Campbell Park. This park was designed to be the jewel in the green necklace of Milton Keynes. It features 11 pieces of public art and sculptures, a collection is constantly being added to. Today, the park serves as a central space used for celebrations and ceremonies.
As we scoot through Campbell Park we will see and discuss art such as Cave by Ivan and Heather Morrison, Armillary Sphere by Justin Turnely and Chain Reaction by Ray Smith.
As we wind our way along Campbell Park Canal we will come to Willen Lake. Willen Lake North and South are home to six sculptural pieces. As we step into the north part of Willen Lake we will come to one of the most recognisable places in Milton Keynes, The Peace Pagoda.
From here we will navigate around the lake before heading back to Campbell Park. On the final part of the tour you will hear stories about The Tree Cathedral, Gnomon by Peter Bowker and Onwards and Upwards by Robert Koeing.
