The walk is approximately 5 miles around the Park at Ickworth and will start from the toilets and plant shop in the main car park. The path goes across open fields and through woodland with lovely views across the Ickworth estate. As the route is along a prepared trail there should be no mud and therefore easy underfoot.

Directions from Cambridge:  Leave the city along Newmarket Road and join the A14 eastbound towards Bury St Edmunds at the Quy roundabout. Leave the A14 at junction 42 and at the roundabout stay in the right-hand lane to take the third exit to Westley and then on to Horringer. At the junction with the A143 turn right then after a short distance turn right through the Lodge gate and carry on up the long drive to the main car park. NB the post code of Ickworth Hall is IP29 5QE but apparently some sat navs lead you astray so be warned!

NB You will need a National Trust membership card to enter the grounds, but, if you don’t have one there are ways round this so that you don’t have to pay full whack. Please let Barbara  know as soon as possible by text (07954 402337) or by email (bmwebb@aol.com), if you want to come on the walk and are not a member of the National Trust.

Additional information: If you feel at all unwell, please do not come on the walk
