Forest Ride, Suffolk
Icknield Way starts at Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire where it links with the Ridgeway and runs for about 110 miles to Knettishall Heath on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. The Icknield Way is unique among long distance tracks because it can claim to be “the oldest road in Britain”.
