Now in a new and much better location on the High Street in Clare. Pastry lovers (and coffee lovers) should make a trip to Small Town a priority!

Accessed westbound via a sharp, narrow chicane just before the entrance to Anglesey Abbey. Using it eastbound requires crossing against the oncoming traffic at both ends. Fine for tourers, fast road cyclists are probably better sticking to the road.

It has nice views to the fields next to the road. Not very easy to access going east, the entry is a few meters after the β€œPark Farm” house
