Now in a new and much better location on the High Street in Clare. Pastry lovers (and coffee lovers) should make a trip to Small Town a priority!

See sign for hours. Gourmet to pub food

If you're hoping to use this for a train-bike tour, there haven't been any trains at this station since 1967! Very distinctive location inside the grounds of Clare Castle though (now a country park).

Sandwiches made to order while you wait. Open until 2.30pm Mon-Sat.

lovely café right at the train station with lots of bike racks and outdoor seating for a summer cycling stop.

Unfortunately you can't see much of the castle from the road. The best views are from further away, as you enter the village, where the top of the keep rises above the trees.

Still flooded in March 2024 but we managed to walk through with our waterproof boots

Stour river was flooded, so we had to make a detour towards the end.

Picturesque chocolate-box location standing above the wide village green.

The small Suffolk town of Clare is a delight to explore. It boasts independent shops, pubs, cafes, an historic Augustine priory and an 11th-century castle ruin, the centrepiece of Clare Castle Country Park. A hike up to the 60-foot (18 m) high castle motte rewards with great views across the town.

Clare Castle Country Park is a beautiful place to explore. Top billing goes to its Norman Castle and the 60-foot (18 m) motte, which you can ascend for lovely views of the small town. The disused Stour Valley Railway station houses a charming cafe, while the wildlife-rich River Stour flows by.

Start from castle car park.

Great little place to stop for Coffee and Cake! Takeaway only.

A 900-year-old Norman keep, beautifully maintained. It costs to visit the castle (£8.50 for adults), but a quick glance from the comfort of your saddle won't go amiss!
