Ickleford is a small village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, set along the banks of the River Hiz and tucked between Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City. The settlement mixes historic buildings, including a medieval parish church, with later housing, and retains a recognisable village green, a cricket club and an active community life.
Historically rooted in agriculture and riverside milling, the parish expanded through the 19th and 20th centuries and today is largely residential, with many inhabitants commuting to nearby towns and London. Local shops, a primary school and regular village events help preserve a strong sense of place and rural heritage despite its proximity to larger urban centres.
