Neighbourhood in Milton Keynes, England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eagle Farm is a district of south-east Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England, within the Wavendon civil parish.

The district lies opposite the Magna Park distribution centre,[5] on the other side of the A421, and east of the neighbouring district of Glebe Farm. It is on the eastern outskirts of Wavendon civil parish, just outside and overlooking the village itself. From March 2018 to December 2020, Milton Keynes City Council, Central Bedfordshire Council and the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership worked on a project to dual the A421 from Eagle Farm Roundabout to Junction 13 of the M1 (2 miles (3.2 km) to the east of the district), which has greatly improved accessibility to the wider road network.[6] The nearest railway station is Woburn Sands which is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the south of the district. The closest retail centre is the Kingston District Centre, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the northwest, with Central Milton Keynes being roughly 5 miles (8.0 km) to the north-west.
