Another good Downham cafe

Great fuel stop. The Coffee and Walnut cake is AMAZING.

Great food, lovely staff and plenty of space in the garden and the owner promises a free banana for cyclists! (At least those doing the rebellion way)

Good coffee & food with plenty of outdoor tables in the square. Open until 4pm (2pm Sun). Closed Mon/Tue.

Large beer garden at the front overlooking the green, including a covered area.

The pub next door, the unusually named 'Twenty Church Wardens' is a good free house for a refreshment stop.

Interesting history at the locks/weirs but a fairly dull path. Little traffic to bother you.

Nice spot for a rest

Nice place to take a break

Very pretty market square and great place for a cafe stop

Nice coffee stop at Oxborough Hall

good place for a picnic

Go into the street to Downham square. Nice coffee and cakes. Even with a good gf option ;)

Fairly large but otherwise undistinguished parish church.

Useful refreshment stop for cyclists in an area that isn't super-abundant in them. Convenient tables out front and you're allowed to lean your bikes against the building's wood cladding. Open 8.30-4.30 Tue-Sat.

Another nice example of a medieval round tower church, sadly in the 1990s' the tower itself collapsed, the church was likely originally a Norman construction, worth a visit, even if most of it now is C19th century fabric. Parish church. Medieval and later. Extensive C19 restoration. Flint with ashlar dressings. Plaintile and lead roofs. Circular west tower; nave with aisles and south porch; chancel. Tower probably Norman with a C14 bell stage. One small ground floor window to south with arched lintel. West window C14 with cusped ogee arch and hood mould. One Norman first floor loop with arched lintel. 2 decorative bands of dark knapped flint in position of ground and first floor ceilings. Off-set below bell-stage. 4 2-light cusped Y-traceried bell openings. Octagonal crenellated parapet. North aisle with Victorian tracery. South aisle with similar Victorian windows to south, one C13 lancet to west and a 3-light Y-traceried window to east. Victorian porch in late- Medieval style. Restored C14 doorway with wave mouldings, double hollow mouldings and carved head label stops. C13 chancel with 5 lancet windows to north 5 to south and triple lancets to east beneath a continuous hood mould. Gabled buttresses to east wall. Interior. Early C14 3-bay south arcade of quatrefoil piers supporting 2 orders of hollow chamfered arches. The square core of each pier is left protruding slightly. North arcade Victorian in precise imitation. Simple doorway into tower with chamfers ending in broach stops. Plain chamfered chancel arch on polygonal responds. Chancel east windows with moulded scoinson arches supported on detached shafts.

Just enjoy the ride 🚵‍♂️;barely no cars, if you lucky you might see/join other cyclists on your way - I did briefly - met a couple on their way from Northampton to Wells-next-the-Sea - what a ride. 🚲🖐

Large pub garden with sheltered seating available.

Half the church is ruined, destroyed when its tower and spire collapsed in the late 1940s, while the surviving east chapel forms the present church.

To be fair, it’s a cut above the average village duck pond, and there’s a pub opposite for a Coke and a packet of crisps.
