Best cycling cafe in the area. Great views and coffee.

Today, only a few of them are still in operation in their original function; instead, they often serve as mere technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: The heavy millstones inside were moved solely by the power of the wind, for example, grinding grain into flour (so-called grain mills) or pressing oil from fruits (e.g., olives) (so-called oil mills). Thus, these old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind several centuries ago – long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed it.

Great cycling themed cafe with a large terrace and plenty of bike space. Well worth a stop off on a Chilterns ride.

A decent coffee and cake stop. Bike workshop too for those who are local!

Two very lovely ladies running the cafe. Shopfront and indoors were very cute. There was not much of a variety of choices to eat for me, as I prefer simple bakery (croissants, carrot cake, flapjack etc.) over pies and creamy cakes.

Café is still around in 2024. :) It's got a nice terrace at the back (incl. bike racks).

As English villages in the Chiltern Hills go, this one is one of the most attractive. This is the kind of place I tend to think of when I read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. The village name is Anglo-Saxon and means "a woodland clearing". Another little fun fact: Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., lived here and built a Manor house here in 1900. He was associated with the Art Nouveau style.

Returned to Ashridge House. Lovely setting. Wasn't overly impressed with the food if I'm being totally honest, on the evidence of this visit. Bit undercooked IMHO and quite pricey. Zillions of wasps descended when the food arrived, which made it difficult to enjoy eating. However, it's such a nice setting and relaxing place that I will visit again.
