Northamptonshire's community cafe of the year! Freshly baked goods, decent coffee, and a lovely breakfast/lunch menu too. Little space to leave bikes out the front, however if you ask, they will direct you to their garden where they are (usually) happy for you to leave bikes!

This unfinished Elizabethan summer house is a magnificent Grade I listed building open to the public to explore. Feel free to roam the rest of the beautiful grounds whilst you're here, there is plenty to discover.
