Ickleford is a small village in North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, lying a few miles east of Hitchin and to the northwest of Luton. It sits beside the River Hiz amid mixed farmland and hedged lanes, and retains the feel of a traditional Hertfordshire village with a green, parish amenities and attractive riverside walks.
Although the settlement has ancient origins and a historic parish heart, today much of its character is shaped by a mix of agriculture and commuter life, with residents working in nearby towns or travelling to London. Local social life is centred on the village hall, school, pubs and sports clubs, and the surrounding countryside makes it popular for walking and simple rural recreation.
