Visiting Cafes and Tearooms

[sussamb]

Abbots Harbour cafe in East Marton is well worth a visit.  Stopped there on my PW trip in May. Gets great reviews on Trip Advisor too

I always try and stop at little shops and cafes (and the occasional pub), especially on multi-day walks. Not just because I might be hungry/thirsty but also simply to give them some custom because some of these are in the middle of nowhere and a godsend if you're planning a walk.

"Aladdin's Cave" on the Pennine Way being a prime example.

Tea rooms are a mandatory bit of walking kit 

Too right! The best ones for me are often the unexpected ones like this place on the Ullswater Way

First time we walked past we hadn't planned to stop anywhere but we were glad we did, friendly staff, great coffee and snacks. The fact it was a surprise made it all the better!

Yesterday we went here after our walk on Mynydd Llangatwg

It's tucked out of the way down an alley off the High St in Crickhowell. Coffee and cakes and ice cream were all very good It's also dog friendly. The bakers on the High St wouldn't make us coffee as it was 4.30 and they stop serving then

If that's the one I think it is, it felt like a life saver for me on one walk.

I did a 13 mile circular walk from Patterdale on a really hot day over a few hills and ran out of water and was starting to suffer as I started to walk back towards Patterdale along the lakeside path when this cafe just appeared out of nowhere and I was able to buy something to drink plus ice cream. Never been so happy to see a shop/cafe

Nice write up Brian, It must be the same one, after Howtown that's the only place for refreshments until Patterdale or Glenridding.

Daughter and I camped near Place Fell's summit last year for a nights wild camping, you're right it is a bit of slog form Patterdale especially with a rucksack full of overnight camping stuff. It was a great spot to wake up in the morning though.

The Cafe on the Green in Widecombe-in the-moor on Dartmoor does real leaf tea including Dartmoor Caravan for those who like the smokey taste. They do a limited food menu but it is good quality. If you take a dog with you one of the waitresses give them dog treats
