イックルフォードでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Fantastic view looking north along this path.

A pleasant walk along the Watermill canal. It's nice to see lots of people with their dogs.

The staircase includes tyre rails/tracks on the side to aid dragging up & down bikes, which fit my 40 mm gravel tyres and helped with the bikepacking load.

This is a scenic, elevated path with a punchy climb if coming from the west; watch out for the metal rail sticking out of the ground. It does not seem to be the "official" Icknield Way, as the latter concerns a bridleway further south on direct route to Ickleford.

Found this a little bit of a challenge with my fully loaded bikepacking bike with plus sized tyres. Good idea having the little track at the side of the steps but I found it a little narrow. Oh yes, the bridge literally reverberates when the trains go underneath.

veer off the Greenway slightly from Wilbury Hill, towards Ickleford. Down the track for a beautiful view of the lavender fields.

The River Oughton flows next to Oughtonhead Common and the footpath between the two makes for a lovely place to run. You will also find a number of trails across the common. There are a variety of habitats on the common which is a nature reserve managed by Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. Keep and eye out for woodcock and kingfishers.
