Icknield Way Path is a long distance footpath in East Anglia, England.

It connects with: Angles Way, Bunyan Trail, Chiltern Way, Harcamlow Way, Hertfordshire Chain Walk, Hertfordshire Way, Lea Valley Walk, Peddars Way, Ridgeway, Roman Road Link, Stour Valley Path and Swans Way.

The trail was devised by the Icknield Way Association and supported by the Ramblers Association. It was part of a plan to achieve National Trail status for the whole length of the ancient trackways linking the South Coast and the Wash. The path was recognised by local authorities in 1992.

Place en route include: Luton's Leagrave railway station, Baldock, Royston, Linton, Cheveley and Icklingham.[2]
