If you are cycling past, call in, speak to the volunteers, learn about the birds, get warm by the woodburner and have a brew. Whats not to like? Just make sure you leave a donation.

The road meets the River Ouse here at Whitgift with open views both east and west. Looking east, keep an eye out for the Whitgift Lighthouse, a grade II listed building. It has been guiding craft along the river since the 19th century.

Gunness Post Office

Highlight • Rest Area

Small shop but has everything you could want. £1 card limit is a godsend when you forget to buy water. Believe there is an instant coffee machine if you need a warm up but plenty of sugar on sale!
