The Ouzel Valley Park has a spacious, open atmosphere with long views. Much of the land is still leased for grazing by Milton Keynes Parks Trust and between the livestock you can still see the remnants of an old field system, the area is dotted with the remains of medieval villages and their associated fish ponds. Some of these villages may have been wiped out by the great plague in 1686 but most were simply abandoned as people moved further from the river to avoid flooding.
