Great stop on our ride. We done cafes and ice cream and also topped up our water bottles. Staff is very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the history spot. Donβt miss it! I must visit on foot and properly discover such amazing and significant place.

Nice trail alongside the River Loddon - can be made into a circular walk using paths on either side of the river from Basingstoke.
