Nice spot for coffee, a good selection of cakes and a breakfast menu up to 11:45 and lunch from midday. No cycle stands outside, but you can prop your bike against the solid wooden pillars. A few outside tables

This old bridge sits over the remnants of an old regional railway line that used to run to/from Towcester and join up with the Northampton to Bedford line near the Yardley Hastings ammo depot. The tracks themselves are long gone but peering over the sides you can see the remains of the old track bed with trees either side going off into the distance.

No ticket for the gardens is required if you you want to just use the cafe. You can find the café at the back of the New Inn, via the plant centre. Enjoy your refreshments inside or take a seat in one of the two outdoor courtyards (I think the Farmyard Courtyard it better if you want to eat outside with your bike)

Woodland walk along the edge of the magnificent Stowe Landscape Gardens. If you have time, you may want to divert into the gardens and explore the many structures and statues here.

Someone has thoughtfully placed a bench here - its about half way round the tour - ideal for a lunch stop.
