It's a vast, scenic estate to cycle through, mostly on compacted, dusty gravel, but there are chunkier bits in some parts. Entering through Horringer and exiting via Chevington worked for me.

Easy to follow routes around the Ickworth estate. Great walks for all ages and abilities. Food and drinks and toilets all onsite.

Impressive, vast estate. From the entrance, you'll notice that this is something special—an amazing building and surrounding gardens, with gift shop and cafes which close at 4 pm. Around the estate, you'll have kilometre after kilometre of woods with every turn displaying a different scenery. You'll have ups and downs of roads very good for hiking and a sweaty cardio. Before you enter, though, please be aware that non-members will pay a reduced entrance fee of 10 quid per person after 3.30 pm. I have no idea what the full rate is.
