Catmere End Crossroads

Highlight • Structure

Two nice descents from here: a shallow one towards Audley End or a steeper one towards Littlebury.

Tip by

5.90 km

This cafe has now changed management and is called Waffle and Coffee. Still has bike racks and outside seating although I did not see the bike locks last time I was there. Staff still great and the food is even better. Bacon and egg sandwich is very good. Coffee, Tea and cakes and of course waffles. Good clean toilets so well worth visiting as a rest stop.
