Greengrocers-cum-coffee shop serving Nottinghamshire's finest 200 Degrees coffee. Highly rated for a low-key, mid-ride coffee. They also stock local ice creams and all the bananas you might need on a bike ride. Open daily from 8.30. Longer opening hours with a great courtyard space until 7pm in the summer.

(They also do really cute flower bouquets if you suddenly realise you're missing an anniversary/birthday/special occasion etc while out riding!)

Hexgreave Estate Entrance

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Virtually traffic-free, this gated estate is now home to small businesses and a cafe. A beautiful narrow lane takes you from Farnsfield to the terribly busy A617. From there, just nip over the road in a break in the traffic and take the lane called Kirklington Road that's slightly to the left of the exit to Hexgreave Hall. The estate dates back seven centuries to 1240AD and was originally conceived as a gift to the Archbishop of York. There are still lots of deer roaming the grounds.
