This small ancient village is a wonderful place to stop on your cycle. You must visit The King's Head pub which is famous for its unchanging interior with rooms that haven't seen significant updates in centuries.

The food offer is full sit-down meals rather than sandwiches / toasties / sausage rolls etc. so maybe stick to coffee and cake, which is good. Open Wed-Sun.
