That'll explain why it's so empty then. It's been like that for years though.

I wonder if they get trade from the 'tourists' who like looking at big green mounds, horses carved in chalk on a hill side, and big stones thrown in field.

I think that at one time it was a lorry driver / biker greasy spoon. Then it was taken over by crop circle conspiracy nutters. I think that they might have been kicked out by the freeholder, so I've no idea if anybody is running it at the moment.

Edit. I've found it's current website: http://www.divinecafe.biz/
The breakfast menu does sound a bit yoghurt-weavery.

Probably from most but this tourist will be looking for the greasy bacon buttie whilest in the area a few days prior to the AR.

Not the reason I'll be there but can't pass all that up being so close by.
Great tips!
Will be riding right through this same location.
Not sure the time but always good to know where a decent cafe is.
All that rock peeping is bound to make one hungry.

You need to go slightly off the beaten track and head towards Bradford on Avon to the Lock inn and sample their legendary "boatmans breakfast" i usually head their once a month, that's all my arteries can take.
As and when you do visit the area let us know and i can give you some hints n tips or even take you to places you wanna visit.

Any orger is always welcome to come knock on my door. Although this weekend you could be knocking for some time as I am not in this weekend.

I have been here two months and not yet had the pleasure of a stagger/walk back whilst under the influence. If the weather continues to be as kind as it is at the moment, I am sure it will not be long.
