Rossendale Bike Hub – Rawtenstall

The Barn / The Priory – Scorton
Two for the price of one here as they are opposite eachother. The Barn is a large restaurant serving afternoon tea, full meals and snacks, but it can get very busy. The van outside The Priory, opposite, is often the favoured stop for cyclists for a coffee and a quick bacon bap.
