Lovely place to relax at side of lake, with a reasonable priced cafe, if this is closed the Flower shop cafe across the the road do excellent cake.

Cafe is superb value (beans on toast plus a coffee for under £2).

Great little cafe on the lake plus a bakers and a co-op, so it's a good place for a stop.
