Bow Brickhill is the high point of the Unitary Authority of Milton Keynes, within the Ceremonial and Historic Counties of Buckinghamshire. It can be easily accessed via short out-and back walk from the Car Park on Church Road or as a short diversion from the Milton Keynes Boundary Walk. From the parking spot on Church Road, it’s a 400m easy walk through the woods to the Trig Pillar that marks the high point. As Hillbagging points out “LIDAR suggests the summit is 22m NW of the trig at SP 91511 34503” .. however bagging the Trig Pillar was good enough for me.
