The Barn is a really nice little cafe with a great vibe about it. There's seating inside about 8 or so along the window and a few tables. The wood fire makes for a cozy feel. There are several tables outside on a nice day. The cafe serves coffee and soft drinks, cakes and a few savouries like bacon sandwiches and sausage rolls.

This stunning valley is a great example of what makes the Cotswolds so special. Until committing to the travelling the length of bridleway you wouldn't know it exists, with no road running through it. The valley has steep sides lined with broad-leaved trees giving it a remote feeling. In the summer the sun sets at the bottom of the valley, blanketing the land in a warm glow.

The views on this descent are fantastic with the Severn estuary and even welsh hills on a clear day. The descent starts out on fast non-technical open grassland and finishes with some fast singletrack.
