Excellent cafe attached to the Discovery Centre which was visited when local English Heritage STOKESAY castle cafe was not open
Bought a pack of local walks and chose the shortest to do. This is where the rating drops unfortunately. Firstly we could it find the route over a small bridge at the start. A local saw us wandering aimlessly and asked if ever “looking for the bridge” . Apparently she gets asked often for this information ! A small sign on the pathway would be of great help , it is in the centre’s grounds. At the end of the trail we followed what we thought were the instructions and ended up outside the town with a walk on a busy A road without a footpath into town. Again a local helped with a cut through a housing estate. Maybe the routes need re visiting ?
Otherwise this is a little gem of a place !
