Lovely, easy gravel paths. Can get busy at weekends with walkers etc, so can be a bit slow going. But early morning, weekdays etc usually all pretty good.

Northamptonshire's community cafe of the year! Freshly baked goods, decent coffee, and a lovely breakfast/lunch menu too. Little space to leave bikes out the front, however if you ask, they will direct you to their garden where they are (usually) happy for you to leave bikes!

Great stop off, good coffee and even have vegan cake options (2) also very comfortable parking the bike up as well away from the road, situated towards the back of the garden centre.
