Great coffee and pastries but not much seating

good for quick checks and fixes

lovely place for a coffee/cake pitstop

unusual houses by the lagoon

A really useful repair station if you have a puncture, or need to do a bit of basic fettling. Limited tools, but probably enough

Did this in April. The lumber scattered each side of the track are being fell because of Ash Die Back.

This traffic-free section of NCN route 2 runs alongside two bodies of water - the sea and Widewater Lagoon. It's an area of brackish water landlocked by a man-made shingle bank. Look out for herons, swans, geese, cormorants, kingfishers, gulls and many other wildfowl. The path can get quite busy in the summer months so watch out for pedestrians and joggers. There are toilets and a water tap at the eastern end of the lagoon, and also a small kiosk selling drinks and ice creams.

Can get very busy but take it easy and take in the views
