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.

If coming from Launton via Station Road there is a nice warm up over the new bridge over the East - West rail line. Around 10m at just over 5%.

Cafe only open when the gift shop is open during a very limited period leading up to Xmas.

Both John Steinbeck & Jimmy Dean would be impressed!

I agree with all the above tips. UNFORTUNATELY when I cycled there on 11th Oct 2023, I was told by the manager of the cafe that it will be permanently closed on 22nd Dec 2023, and all the staff will loose their jobs. So if you want to sample the excellent food, you don't have much time do it.

A lovely coffee stop with breakfast sandwiches, breakfasts, light lunches and home made cakes. Cosy inside seating or plenty of outside seating some of it in an open sided barn shelter

Just off the walk on Main Street - country pub with quirky garden

Very good coffee and warm sausage rolls

Great to walk around looks very impressive

Nice church good for a wonder to grave yard was closed due to downed trees

Beautiful place to walk around look out for the musket holes

Always worth a stop for some heavenly ice cream.

The church is St. Mary & St. Edburga

There is a manor at Chetwode that stayed in the same family from the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 through to the 1960s. The Domesday Book records that in 1086 Robert de Thain held the manor from Odo, Bishop of Bayeux.

"A tranquil Tudor manor house set in rare terraced gardens, with the 'antient' Dryden family at its heart Built by the Drydens using the remains of a medieval priory, the house and gardens have survived largely unaltered since 1710 and are presented as they were during the Victorian era. The warm, welcoming house features grand rooms, stunning tapestries and Jacobean plasterwork, contrasting with the domestic detail of the servants' quarters. Stroll in the historic parkland and catch glimpses of early medieval landscapes, while a wander through the priory church reveals the story of the canons of Canons Ashby."

excellent coffee stop

Beautifully ornate gated entrance to the Canons Ashby gardens can be seen from just past the main car park entrance.

Best going from Farthingstone towards Litchborough.

This is a hidden gem! An unassuming gate leading into a place of tranquility. I doubled back on my ride to investigate and was surprised and delighted to find this place. A large grassed area surrounded on all sides by the wall and trees creating a quiet place to sit and reflect on the days ride. Perfect for mid ride lunch (if you didn't pop into the local pub of course) or a picnic, the cloisters provide an unusual point of interest and contain plenty of seating if you are with a group. There are a few rules to enjoying this space listed on a sign to the far right of the cloister wall looking back towards the entry gate.

Superb traditional village pub which has managed to retain it's character. Great place in the summer as the beer garden is nothing if not unique! Definately worth a quick beer or snack even if it's just to sit in the garden next to the bottle tree or one other the unusual additions. It's an amazing place in the autum and winter when it's cold outside as there is a roaring open fire and a couple of snug areas with books to read and countless pictures of the village and characters that live there.
