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)

A good find, tucked away on a quiet corner down a little lane. The brightly-painted wooden furniture contributes to an eclectic look.

The pub next door, the unusually named 'Twenty Church Wardens' is a good free house for a refreshment stop.

The memorial honours all those who served in the 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats), the 4th Armoured Brigade (The Black Rats), and the 7th Armoured Brigade (The Green Jerboa) throughout history. The area also features a network of interconnected trails perfect for mountain biking, do watch out for walkers though.
