The main route of the GUC starts in London and finishes in Birmingham and stretches 220 km or 137 miles. However, there are vaious arms that stem from that main line that serve other areas and one of those arms serves Milton Keynes. You'd think that canal building was a thing of the past but that's far from the truth and it's alive and kicking in Buckinghamshire. The Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway was first thought of way back in 1810 but it's only now that the scheme and idea has been put into practice. At an estimated cost of £170 million the plan is to build a 26 km or 16 mile long canal that connects the Grand Union at Milton Keynes to the River Great Ouse at Bedford.
