Very pleasant setting with picnic tables overlooking the small lake (can be reached by taking your bike around the side of the building to the right) as well as indoor seating. Closed Mon/Tue.

Stowmarket is a busy market town on the River Gripping. As it is on the railway line between Norwich and London it makes for an ideal place to start a run in the Suffolk Countryside if you are travelling by public transport.
