Excellent cafe with rural business park. Open Monday to Saturday. Entrance is easy to miss, it is on the left in wooded area if heading towards Blisworth. Heading towards Shutlanger Rd you will find it on the right at the top of the climb from Blisworth tunnel tower. On entering keep right towards car parks.

Scenic views next to the river. Don’t recommend it for a road bike, plenty of walkers, hikers, prams, dogs, can be too busy at times.

A good descent or little climb, depending on your direction. Tends to have a lot of traffic in rush hours

A convenient stop with easy access to toilets and great ice cream. It’s ideal for a quick refill, though be prepared for long queues at the counter. The paninis and sandwiches aren’t the best, but it serves its purpose.
