Three Trees Farm Shop & Café

Highlight • Cafe

This friendly farm shop and cafe is very conveniently located at the Chiseldon end of the Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway Path.

The staff is friendly and the food reasonably priced - I missed the cafe because of my inability to properly read signs 😓
In times of Covid they separated the Cafe from the Shop and the entrance to the Cafe is at the side (it is clearly signed, but I somehow missed it).

Regardless, the Scotch egg with smoked bacon in the sausage wrapping was a revelation, and the resupply of fresh water a godsend on a particularly warm day.

Thoroughly recommended!

Hackpen Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

My heart rate was 165 on this climb. LOL. No .... I did not stop. I just twiddled the pedals because I knew I would never get going again if I did stop. Don't like walking if out with my bike. Good for views and heart rate workout. LOL
