It’s kind of cool to be able to see the end of the tracks for the radio telescope array here. You ride right past it.

The Orchard Tea Garden, Grantchester

Highlight • Cafe

Relaxing at its best. It is self service, thus park your bike, get your afternoon tea (or other refreshment) at the bar and then find one of the widely spaced spots under the trees in the Orchard.
