If you’re ever in Milton Keynes, there’s a sight you simply can’t miss: the Concrete Cows. These famous sculptures were created in 1978 by American artist Liz Leyh, and have since become a beloved icon of the area.
Made from scrap materials and skinned with fiberglass reinforced concrete, the Concrete Cows were originally located in Bancroft before being moved to various locations over the years. They’ve even been replicated by Bill Billings and placed near Monks Way for all to see.
But what’s the best way to visit the Concrete Cows? If you’re traveling by foot or bike, access to the replicas in Bancroft is possible via redway. If you’re taking a bus, be sure to catch MK Metro buses 5 and 6 between Bletchley, Central Milton Keynes, and Wolverton, which stop at near-by bus stops on each side of Monks Way near the junction with H3’s northern carriageway and Octavian Drive.
Regardless of how you get there, seeing the Concrete Cows is an experience you won’t forget. These sculptures are a testament to the power of art and creativity, and they’re truly a sight to behold. So what are you waiting for? Plan your trip to Milton Keynes and make sure to add the Concrete Cows to your itinerary. You won’t regret it.
