Introduction: |
This café is part of a working farm. Newly built in traditional style with stone walls and stone roof tiles, this premises must have one of the finest views, looking out over the upper Dean valley and Lamaload reservoir. In fact, from around the buildings there are wonderful views across the Cheshire plain as far as the Welsh mountains on a fair day. This is an excellent example of farming diversification, a wonderful location for enjoying the countryside from the farming perspective. While I enjoyed my afternoon tea and scone the sheep were being given their annual shower across the yard! |
Food: |
Breakfast (all day), light lunches and teas. |
Other facilities: |
B&B; holiday cottages. The Waggonshaw Brow footpath passes through the farmyard - what an excellent stop for lunch! |
Finding it: |
In the hills above Rainow; up Ingersley Road from Bollington, continue for 2 miles, right at the T junction, 2nd left up Smith Lane. From Rainow, about a half mile along the Whaley Bridge road from the village, turn right up Smith Lane, it's well signed on the right just over a quarter mile then all the way down the long drive. |
