Wolverton: Concrete Cows
Description
One of the most famous, or possibly infamous, icons of Milton Keynes are it's concrete cows, originally built in 1978. There are in fact two sets of cows, the originals were originally built in 1978 at the site of what became the Milton Keynes museum. This set then moved around the town to various locations before returning to the museum in 2016. A second replica set was created and placed in a field by the road coming into Milton Keynes, also visible from the slow lines of the train between Wolverton and Milton Keynes (right hand side). This second set can be visited at any time as they are in an open field
