Great little cafe. Good range of breakfast and cakes. Reasonably priced. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of easy / safe bike storage.

Take time to go off the trail to the bird hides and vantage points around the water. The route is best in spring before the nettles take over the path in summer!

Great coffee highly recommend

The pub in Thomson (The Chequers) on Griston Road is worth a visit...old with lots of character.

Just enjoy being out n about

Not so good spot for lunch, move on and find a better place

Really nice easy walk good on a warm day with shelter from the forests

Thompson Water and the common form an SSSI managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It's a particularly important area for dragonflies and damselflies.

The Pingo Trail is an 8 mile hike around Thompson Common which takes in the delights of the ice age pools known as pingos. As the ground froze, water underneath froze to create little hills. When the ice melted the earth dropped back down and created the pingos. They are usually found in places such as Greenland and Alaska so it is an interesting and unique place to visit.

Thompson Common is an important habitat for wildlife, with dragonflies, damselflies, otters and pool frogs all in residence. The common is famous for its pingos, post glacial depressions that look like small ponds.

Upgraded a lot in recent times with a large, partially covered decking area overlooking the water and a bicycle-shaped fountain in the lake!

Great coffee stop

If you plan on having a dog with you, then double check where you can take it around Thompson Water. The main footpath that runs beside Thompson Water is Peddar's Way, so dogs are allowed there, but the rest of the reserve is owned by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and some areas are dog free zones at some points of the year.

great coffee stop!

Thompson Common is famous for its pingos, a series of around 400 post-glacial depressions. Here, you can see more than 400 different species of plants. It is also one of the most important sites in the county for dragonflies and damselflies; 19 species have been recorded as breeding here. There have been 25 species of butterfly and more than 600 species of beetle recorded here, too.

This is a must cycle stop... I will be back a lot, even through winter, this is a perfect 33mile round trip

Brilliant little cafe inside two joint containers and cycle-esque vibe, food coffee and decor.

Great coffee but easy to miss!
