Milton Keynes Museum tells the stories that shaped Milton Keynes, with interactive displays and a changing events programme including the Kerala exhibition and an after-hours Legends and Lanterns Hallowe'en event. As custodian of the nearby Grade II listed Bradwell Windmill, the museum also opens this rare working tower mill on selected days, where you can watch flour being milled and even take some home for baking. It suits families, history enthusiasts and school groups, though the windmill's steep stairs and low beams mean care is needed. The museum is in Wolverton and Greenleys, Milton Keynes, 0.7 miles from Wolverton station, with 24 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays for those planning a longer visit.
