Fronts directly on to the pavement with just a couple of tables and nowhere really to leave a bike. Maybe ok if there's a couple of you, so one can look after the bikes while the other goes in, but solo riders or larger groups would be better somewhere else.

Espresso for your overnight Dun Run needs. Also sells Cannoli, 2023 cannoli were good... but 2024 ones weren't great :) Stop here for coffee though!

Dunwich Dynamo feed stop - featured a coffee truck, and 3 food vendors. Long queues at 3am but much needed caffeine and extra snack as the temperatures dropped. There are toilets here.

not the most welcoming tea room. but jubd enough to refill my water bottle with a purchase of tea and chocolates. had to sit outside to drink my tea though. perhaps I needed a prior booking 😔

It’s a pleasant enough spot for a quick stop if the weather’s decent but one of Visit England’s top attractions? I find that hard to believe for a glorified duck pond in an old gravel pit next to a railway line!

route is shut!

Part of the Shrubland bridleway. Near the pond you can see a tower from the nearby Shrubland Hall.

Needham Lake is the site of a Local Nature Reserve - with wetland areas, meadows and a small woodland. It's home to a variety of wildlife. Needham Lake has been consistently ranked among Visit England's top most-visited free attractions in the UK. The Duck and Teapot café near the main entrance offers refreshments including hot snacks, cake, tea, coffee and ice cream.
