In June 2025, we were thankful to Sam, David, and Collin who all work with the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, and who had agreed to install an Information Board for the Great Chalk Way at the point where the Icknield Way meets the Peddars Way. w3w.co/pins.spellings.contain This is one of three boards sponsored by the Icknield Way Association, and part of a total of five that are now in place along the GCW route.

Route Issues
In Suffolk the route passes through the picturesque villages of Gazeley, Dalham and Moulton and there are wonderful views over the Breckland with its unique landscape of large sandy fields separated by windbreaks of gnarled Scots Pines.
