Are you a keen cyclist or rambler?

The Dovecote Barn is popular amongst many cyclists and ramblers, who enjoy a pit stop at our bistro before continuing on their adventures. 


As keen Ramblers and Cyclists ourselves, we decided to suggest some routes to and from  our venue. In addition, we also offer parking for those walking to and from the venue. We just ask people to use us for food and drink before or after their route.


Find suggested routes below. 


(Hint: Cyclists and Ramblers love our £5.95 Coffee & Cake offer!)
