This a great place, great idea, great value.

The residents of Keld have set up a Do It Youself cafe in one of their public buildings, there are a couple of kettles, tea, coffee, soft drinks, and a variety of home made cakes all at the the price of £1.00 per item.

If you are in the area call in its well worth supporting.

Great idea.  Similar in a church at Newchurch on Offa's Dyke walk, open with kettle, tea, coffee, biscuits etc and just a request for a 'donation'  O0



I'll try to visit the Keld one in May while on my PW walk.

What a brilliant idea.  I will be in the Dales in June, so I will certainly be calling in.

I came across a similar place in rural France along the GR65 last year. I was served by an old man who was attached to an oxygen bottle and a tube up his nose. Right outside what was a small old chapel was an old covered bus stop with two easy deckchairs inside, that's where I had my coffee and cake. It was such a hot day and the bus shelter shade was really good. The old man was great fun and was obviously enjoying himself as people like me came and went.

Thanks for the pointer.


Ennerdale YH does something similar.And if you drink your tea out the back, you get a great view of Ennerdale and Pillar.

And a very welcome stop that was too on the wettest day of our C2C. It was absolutely packed out, everyone stopped off to eat their lunch in the dry, and have a brew to warm up. It was steaming, literally!

There used to be a Tea Shed with honesty box at Culbone just by the tine church on the SWCP in Somerset. does anyone know if it still exists?
So many paths yet to walk, so little time left

There's quite a nice café in Keld which lets me and my mucky dog in and they make the tea and toasted teacakes/bacon butties for you...   just saying...   Although the do-it-yourself tea sheds are quite handy to have in more remote spots..

Yes I agree, they are all over the country.  There's been one on PW for about 30 years if not more......originally run by grandparents of the current owner/occupier of the farm.
I was wondering how the local existing cafe at the campsite farm  responded to the one opened in Keld, after all it's only a very small place.

There's a DIY café in Thornton Steward near Jervaulx Abbey.  In the village hall if I remember correctly.
