Rumblebees Café

Highlight • Cafe

Pleasant little cafe but only limited space, indoors and out, and no space for bike parking so best for only a couple of riders - larger groups, go elsewhere. Cakes and drinks only.

The Compasses Inn

Highlight • Pub

Lovely pub. The perfect place to plan a stop on a long bike ride. There is a very large beer garden at the back where you can easily bring your bike with you.
