The Icknield Way

September 2018.
A long time in the waiting, we had planned to walk the Icknield Way back in 2011, but had to cancel at short notice. Due to time constraints we were limited to six days only, so we will need to come back next year to complete this one - probably in tandem with the Peddars Way ... Some lovely mixed walking, often with open views in very pleasant countryside, but combined with a very urbanised day 2. That said, we stayed in some nice B&Bs and had some really fantastic food along the way.
The start of our journey - Tring Station
