About 1 mile of road walking (with adequate verges, mostly in Great Chishill), several fields to cross on well-trodden rights-of-way, great views, two stiles but each of them has a gate right next to them that we can use.

Turn left after the pet crematorium and follow the road through Chrishall Grange, following signs for Elmdon. Turn left by St. Nicholas’ Church into Ickleton Road. Follow the road for about 200 metres and you will see the old school on the left. You can park on the right-hand side near some terraced houses, called School Row, or just beyond.

Those eating a packed lunch, there is a small green a few yards along the road from the pub and a bench in the church yard opposite. There is even a bus shelter next to the green with a seat, if shelter is needed. The pub requests that we do not eat our own food on the premises.
