This photograph is taken from Snailswell Lane (love the name). There is some housing just behind me as I take the photo and a stable behind the trees. There are often horses being ridden in this area. There is a pond plant nursery behind the stables.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The gate towards the middle of the image leads into Ickleford Common. The track to the left goes to a private premises and to the right goes into Ickleford Village. The track behind me goes to the Bedford Road eventually. You are not supposed to drive down it as it is gated at the far end, the Google Street View team have ventured down it though!

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking at old Ordnance Survey maps of the area a public footpath towards Holwell across this field certainly existed in 1884. One wonders how many people have walked across it since...
