	Icknield Way - Paths Routes and Trails - Information - Ramblers' Association
		Devised by the Icknield Way Association and supported by the Ramblers as part of a campaign to achieve National Trail status for the whole length of the ancient trackways linking the South Coast and the Wash, the Path was opened as a promoted route recognised by local authorities in 1992.
		The 45km/28-mile Icknield Way Trail is intended as a multi-user alternative between Aldbury and Pegsdon, mainly following the northern alternative of the Icknield Way.
		Due to construction work for a new bypass, a section of the Icknield Way on the eastern edge of Baldock will be closed for intermittent periods of days or weeks during 2004-2005.

	Icknield Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Icknield Street or Ryknild Street is a Roman road in Britain that runs from Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire where it connected to the Fosse Way, to Templeborough in South Yorkshire, it went via Alcester, Redditch, the area now covered by Birmingham (where a large fort was located), Lichfield, and what is now Derby.
		It acquired the name Icknield Way during the 12th century but it is now called Icknield Street (or Ryknild Street) to distinguish it from the older Icknield Way, an Iron Age trackway running from Norfolk to Dorset.
		Much of the route of the Icknield Street is still used by modern roads, most notably the A38 from Lichfield to Derby.

	History of Stevenage by Robert Trow-Smith Chapter 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This Icknield Way, sprawling over the countryside until it was hedged, confined and metalled, certainly came into being as a track in the early Bronze Age, shortly after 2,000 B.C., and perhaps even a few centuries earlier.
		One of the key points on the Icknield Way was the watering place at Ickleford, where the Purwell and Hiz streams meet.
		So, a quarter or half a mile to the east of the ancient Roman ways, the Saxon founders of the first Stevenage pitched their camp and there conceived the village which later came to full birth, with its church and manor house in its centre and its fields around it.

		The Lower Icknield Way is by far the most important, and many questions have been asked regarding this ancient way and where it crossed our village boundary.

		Although no details have been written of any past history, one has the impression, being situated on Lower Icknield Way and taking into account the age of the barns in the adjoining farm yard, that the property must have been of some importance.
