This is a Great Alternative to using the road, This section of Lower road can get busy and being in a valley, there isn't much room to manoeuvre out the way of cars. the gravel track next to the road and fields is a great way to avoid all of this.

Now relocated around the corner to larger premises on the High Street. No cycle parking out front but they have a back garden and they're happy for cyclists (even a group of 10!) to wheel your bike through the cafe to the garden.
