Great food, lovely staff and plenty of space in the garden and the owner promises a free banana for cyclists! (At least those doing the rebellion way)

Lovely path that eventually leads you into Lynford Arboretum. There is a nice lake and beach here to stop by for a dip if you have the time and whilst conditions can be a little sandy here most of the path is grassy and should be good even in wetter conditions.
