We get it, the days are colder, and shorter, and it’s bound to rain. BUT, dogs still need walking, tired minds still need caffeine, bikes still need riding, and bodies still need movement.
That’s why we are open seven days a week, 364 days a year.
Our Cafe is only accessible by foot or by bike, so we thought we’d remind you all of the most popular walking and cycling routes around us.
And don’t forget…if it’s damp, you get a double stamp!
On Foot
From the East, we are around 30 mins walk from Epsom and 20 minutes from Noble Park.
This route is from one of our favourite local pubs, The Jolly Coopers which is on our side of Epsom town centre.
The route below is from the Epsom Common Car Park.
Ashtead train station is 20-25 minutes walk over Ashtead Common.
If arriving by bus, the 465 running from Kingston to Dorking stops at the end of the road, just a 5 minute walk away.
By bicycle
If you are coming from London direction, there's a range of great gravel and road routes to get you here.
The best way to get here is on a gravel/cx/mtb which means you can skip the A243 out of the arrival process.
We're a 20km ride from Kingston Gate of Richmond Park via Esher which should take you about an hour.
On the road is also great, but there's obviously a few cars to deal with, particularly around evening rush hour.
There's a fast way and a more scenic way.
We're just off the popular Belgie gravel route, and easily accessed from Esher, Oxshott, Cobham, Horton, Ewell, Epsom, Ashtead, Chessington and Claygate all entirely off road on bridleways and byways.
Why can’t I drive?
We have very limited parking which is exclusively for the use of our Gym clients and for pre-booked private events. Sadly we simply don’t have enough parking space for all of our Cafe goers. We can usually allow spaces for people with accessibility issues if you email us with 24 hours notice, particularly midweek after 11am.
What about the mud?
Mud is a historical and long standing geological feature of the area. We sit on a big lump of clay, and once the winter sets in, the ground becomes a saturated bog, and it’s not until the warmer temperatures of spring arrive that this water evaporates and leaves the soil back in a more solid state. In some years this saturated state could last for just a few weeks, in others it can encompass October through to April. We do remain accessible all year round and in all conditions, but sensible footwear is definitely required at times!
So, put on your wellies, grab your woolly hat and head on down to see us. We’re open 7.45am-2pm weekdays and 8am-3pm weekends.
