Small cafe serving drinks, cakes, pastries and snacks. Seating indoors and outdoors. Toilet. Check opening times and menu on Instagram @chapel_andco Also a selection of gifts.

Excellent cafe with rural business park. Open Monday to Saturday. Entrance is easy to miss, it is on the left in wooded area if heading towards Blisworth. Heading towards Shutlanger Rd you will find it on the right at the top of the climb from Blisworth tunnel tower. On entering keep right towards car parks.

Beautiful and quiet village. Plenty of humps and some potholes, but can be avoided.

A convenient stop with easy access to toilets and great ice cream. It’s ideal for a quick refill, though be prepared for long queues at the counter. The paninis and sandwiches aren’t the best, but it serves its purpose.

Nice place for a short break. Never entered the pub while cycling.

Great service and butties

This is Tingewick, Deddington is miles away…🤦‍♂️

The Canal Museum, Stoke Bruerne is a great place to learn about the history of the canals and the people who worked on them. The museum is housed in a historic corn mill and offers visitors a chance to see how canals were built and operated. The museum also has a cafe, a gift shop, and a boat trip. It is open Tuesday through Saturday. Admission to the museum is free. Plenty of cycle stands outside the museum and cafe.

Good stop, good cakes, even better coffee

Marsh Gibbon is a lovely village and this is a lovely spot to rest your legs

A nice farm shop café. At time of writing Aug 2022 The Hayloft inside seating is closed but good outside seating options

A quaint selection of thatched cottages to admire as you roll by on the well paved roads.

Friendly staff. Cracking selection for a cyclist on a long ride on the A5.

Great for a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea in the morning sun

"The square W tower of Wicken church was erected by Robert, Lord Spencer in 1617, but the remainder of the medieval building was taken down in 1753, after it was found to be unsafe. The cost of rebuilding was met by Thomas Prowse, described as the designer of the church on a tablet in the N aisle. It was completed by 1770, and comprises a nave with aisles of equal height, N and S transepts and a square chancel. The church was restored in 1838, and again by Matthew Holding in 1896-97. In the latter restoration the chancel was lengthened to the E, the S transept was added, and a boiler-room built at the W end of the N aisle. The 12thc. font may be the sole relic of an earlier structure on the site." Cit. https://www.crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=8140

Watch out for some terrible pot holes!

Test your top speed going downhill, turn off the A421. Alternatively test your climbing skills going the other way!

Watch out for the cars at the crossroads!

Although cafe was only doing take-away due to COVID 19, they were happy for me to drink my tea outside the shop - a chair to sit on would have been good though.

A nice place to stop for refreshments and meat.
