Ouse Valley Park, Milton Keynes, U.K.
Family Cycling fun 27/5/2017
The Ouse Valley Park lies in the flood plain of the Great Ouse which flows from Oxfordshire to the Wash. The park is the most rural of any found in Milton Keynes and is a great place to go to experience the feeling of the countryside without leaving the city. Old trees, hedgerows, meadows, and new plantations combine to provide excellent habitats for wildlife.
The Iron Trunk Aqueduct carries the Grand Union canal over the Ouse at a height of 10.8 metres and connects Wolverton and Cosgrove. The Grand Union (or Grand Junction canal as it was known until 1929) was built between 1793 and 1805 to link London with the industrial Midlands and North. The aqueduct was renovated in 2012 by British Waterways and it was restored to its original colours. Once an industrial artery carrying a wide range of goods in horse-drawn narrow boats, the Grand Union is now a popular route for walking, cycling, and pleasure boating. Scrub and marshy areas border the canal's route through the park and form and provide an excellent habitat for a variety of birds. There are steps up to the canal from the riverside walk and a tunnel which takes the path under the canal.

Boy, 6, who went missing on ‘school trip’ found on motorway after 9 hour search
Aadil Umair Rahim, age 6, went missing from Newport Pagnell Services at around 7.15pm on Friday evening A six-year-old boy who went missing from an M1 service station has been miraculously found alive after a frantic overnight search in the freezing cold. Aadil Umair Rahim was discovered ‘safe and well’ just before 4am on Saturday, after police scoured the area using helicopters and tracker dogs. An alert was launched after he disappeared from a Nottingham-based coach that had stopped at Newport Pagnell services in Buckinghamshire at around 7.15pm on Friday. It was claimed he had been on a school trip to the Museum of London and was wearing a uniform when he wandered off as other pupils used the toilets. Aadil was taken to hospital but there is thought to be no serious cause for concern. Police refused to comment on if any offences had been committed. CCTV showed Aadil walking out of a service station after the coach he was on stopped for a toilet break (Picture: Thames Valley Police) It is claimed Aadil was on a school trip when he wandered off (Picture: UKNIP) Hundreds of people had stayed awake and spent hours searching the streets and fields to find him on Friday. Advertisement Advertisement CCTV showed him running towards a car park at the services but there were no cameras to show which direction he headed. At one point during the night fire crews were reportedly out in a boat searching water around Little Linford as temperatures plummeted. He was found nine hours later sitting on a box near road works, the Milton Keynes Citizen reports. After Aadil was found, his father Umair Rahim wrote on Facebook: ‘My son has arrived and he is safe now. Thanks for the prayers. Shukar to Allah. ‘Thanks to Thames Valley Police helicopter services fire department and safe and rescue department who worked tirelessly for 9 hours and found him safe. ‘There was more than a 1,000 people looking for him I’m thankful to everyone.’ The boys family thanked the thousands of people who came out to join the search {Picture: Thames Valley Police) Hundreds of people joined the search as well as well as police, fire crews and tracker dogs (Picture: UKNIP) Thames Valley Police have also thanked locals for helping with the search. Superintendent Amy Clements said: ‘This was a large operation in difficult conditions so I’d like to also publicly thank the search and rescue teams who assisted in the search and the large number of officers involved, including the National Police Air Service which helped bring this positive resolution. ‘We are so very glad that he has been found and are thankful to everyone involved in assisting with that.’ Got a story for Metro.co.uk?
