The bridge is wide and flat. On the north side is a good and smooth tarmac road towards Aston. On the other side, on Chimney Meadows "island", is a bridleway to the ford leading to Duxford and a path (cyclable but it's meant to be walked) leading to a hump-back bridge with steps. If cycling you'll need to carry your bike over that bridge.

A nice little cafe with a few seats inside and out on the street. Very popular. It also has a small bike rack out the front. Good coffee.

Great selection of food and courteous service, can get crowded but the place is very friendly and comfortable. May seem a little expensive, but portions are very big (in fact, careful what you order or you may not be able to restart your ride again afterwards 😉). I will be visiting again 👍
