Welcome to the Milton Keynes Rose Audiowalk.
Experience the Milton Keynes Rose through sound and story. Below, you will find a read-along version of the audiowalk, combining interviews, writing and research material. Designed for accessibility and deeper engagement, this feature allows you to explore the Rose’s evolving significance – whether you are on site or reading from home.
This is not a tour guide. It is a meditation.
The Milton Keynes Rose Audiowalk blends voices, field recordings, compositions and text to trace a path through nearly two decades of imagination, community organising, design, and civic care.
Walk with it on site. Sit on a bench. Or listen remotely, eyes closed.
The following read-along combines the full transcript of the audiowalk with lightly interwoven passages from the Rose’s 10th Anniversary Publication and original artist notes by Gordon Young.
See below for the Read-along transcript to accompany you on your journey through the MK Rose AudioWalk. Created by Artist Jakub Rokita.
