Walk is 11.6 miles – 6.7 in morning South and West over chalk downs via Arbury Banks and Hinxworth, and 4.9 in afternoon North and East via nowhere in particular, but returning along the Icknield Way.

There is no good way to Ashwell from Cambridge! Either take A603 through Orwell, left at roundabout with A1198, and first right through Wendy and Guilden Morden to Ashwell. Or go A10 to Royston and A505 towards Baldock, turning right at Ashwell Station.

Meet outside Ashwell church next to the Bushel and Strike pub (SG7 5LY) on Mill Street. No single parking spot, so street park where you can in the village or near the church.

Lunch back at Ashwell church (so can leave food in cars), with drink at Bushel and Strike.
