Road and walk down the steps alongside the Spirella
building.

3. Opposite the cemetery there is a gap in the hedge -
and the Icknield Way pathway starts again.

5. Cross the Hitchin to Stotfold road - on the right
is a pathway into the Wilbury Hill picnic area. This
is the site of an Iron Age hill fort.

7. The Icknield Way is now a gentle down hill walk
until you reach this seat, a junction with other paths.

9. The path intersects the line of the dismantled
Hitchin to Nottingham railway which closed in 1963.
The Hitchin Midland station buildings still exist.

11. The Icknield Way now crosses the River Hiz and
you are soon in Ickleford's main street. How about a
pint in the Old George pub?

2. The pathway is between the railway and housing
developments on your right. At Spring Road, turn right
and at Icknield Way turn left.

4. The path now follows the headland of arable fields
until you reach the Stotfold Road.

6. The Icknield Way now rolls gently downhill through
arable farmland. In summer the pathway features
dragonflies and many types of butterfly.

8. The path crosses the East Coast main line where
a new footbridge over the ECML has been built.

10. Gerry's Hole is a nature reserve. Gerry helped
build the Hitchin - Nottingham railway, but drowned
in the cutting!

12th century. Henry Boswell - the Gypsy King - is
buried here.
