Locations for Shoot in Milton Keynes

[SmileyShazza]

Some friends of mine have just got engaged and I have offered to do them an engagement style shoot in Milton Keynes as a present.

Can anyone recommend anywhere suitable? So far I have considered Willen, Caldecote and Furzton Lakes but I wasn’t sure if there was anywhere else that may be better suited to this kind of shoot.

All suggestions gratefully welcomed

how about at the peace pagoda?

Lakes are good, also lots of woodlands on the redways between the lakes. Do you have a bicycle? If so, it's a good way to scout locations.

I was considering the Peace Pagoda but didn't know if it was a bit cliched. Although there is quite a lot of woodland around there too and some nice seats etc so it could definitely be a contender.

I don't have a bicycle unfortunately but I'm thinking one of the areas around the many lakes would probably be good.

I work on towcester - how about the racecourse, silverstone if you can get permission, loads of farmland around here, and loads of rapeseed fields so lots of bright yellow, or you could maybe try the little airfield going towards bedford, kinda cool having planes flying over if you can get permission again!!

The indoor skydiving at escape could be a fun way to do things

on a more normal level, peace pagoda would be my choice

The Peace Pagoda is the really obvious one locally, Sulgrave Manor near Silverstone is a beautiful location but may be a bit far.
How about Woburn Abbey - there's not many better locations I can think of!

HTH,

The main shopping centre is a great location

oh forgot, how about the golfclub up near woburn sands, its gorgeous around there, although its private property there is a road that runs through...

The Concrete Cows or in the middle of a roundabout? Nothing says "Milton Keynes" more than those two things

The concrete cows are now in the shopping centre and it's not very photogenic in that part.

Or there's the canal at Great Linford, riverside at Stony Stratford/Newport Pagnell and canal again at Stoke Bruerne.

Although you are correct in that there is a set of concrete cows in the shopping centre, these are a later set. The originals are still in the same place, Stacey Bushes

So Concrete Cows it is!

Well that'll teach me to listen to other people, someone told me that they were THE concrete cows and they were moved there. :bonk:

Oblivously they weren't mooved there!

River or canal location would be nice for pictures.

 

[hashcake]

There is something worth shooting in MK (except the locals with a gun?)

Groan. I think you lot should hoof it out of this thread now.

 

[Byker28i]

I don't know the area too much these days, but how about Woburn, or there's the canal that runs through that way, plus several nice villages around Towcester/Brackley

Stowe ?

 

[SmileyShazza]

Stowe would be greta but the couple don't really want to travel too far and so really want to stay in Milton Keynes.

We've decided on Willen Lake as I thought there are lots of little areas round there that should be nice. Just need to hope for decent weather on the day now!
