Sudbury Courtyard Café and Shops

Highlight • Cafe

Sudbury Courtyard is a small friendly and interesting collection of shops and a really nice café. Lots of outdoor seating and the whole place is bike friendly.
The National Trust managed Sudbury Hall is just up the road and well worth a visit.

Sudbury Hall and Museum of Childhood

Highlight • Monument

Amazing NT property.

In fact, I think this is my favourite one.

Firstly, and most importantly in my opinion, fellow Pride and Prejudice fans will recognise a few scenes from the BBC drama which were filmed here.

Remember the likeness of the young Mr Darcy which Lizzy was shown by the housekeeper at the bottom of a grand staircase?

You will see the staircase here.

There are a few more spots too but I will let you find them.

Such a romantic place to explore if Pemberley captures your heart.

Secondly, if you have children, or even if you do not, there is a wonderful museum full of nostalgia as it allows you to journey back into your childhood.

So many memories will come flooding back to your mind.

It is even called the museum of childhood.

It is worth the ticket price!!!

Longford Old Mill

Highlight • Structure

Very scenic house opposite the old cheese factory in Longford. Now a private house so no access. It is almost obligatory for every cyclist passing to stop to admire and take a photo.

Marston Lane

Highlight • Trail

Marston Lane links Marston on Dove to the north with Rolleston on Dove in the south. It's a pretty lane where you will mainly be riding across farmland. You also cross the River Dove and the railway track.

Church Farm Tea Rooms & Children's Farm

Highlight • Cafe

Nice cafe in the middle of nowhere. Seems to be very busy so book a table if visiting as a group. Long menu with breakfasts in the morning then lunch and afternoon tea menu. Prices aren't the cheapest but the quality and service seems good. Big car park at the front of the cafe and can park bikes there.
