Overview

We will start from the Village Green in Ickwell and head north to Northill then across the fields to Shearhatch wood, and pick up the Greensands ridge way and on to Palmers wood and we will stop for lunch at Old Warden church before heading into the village where we will stop for a drink. After that we walk through Warden Warren and past Shuttleworth aerodrome before we head back to where we started the walk.
