The Grind
Everyone knows a ride is elevated by a good café stop. Here’s your guide to the top stops accessible from Rossendale!
Rossendale Bike Hub - Rawtenstall
Transport yourself to a ski chalet in the Alps at Ski Rossendale. This cycling themed café is as cosy as it gets, and the perfect place for a post-ride debrief. There’s a large range of soft drinks, home cooked treats and cycling kit/parts if there’s anything you need.
Distance from Kay Street, Rawtenstall: 0.8m / 1.3km
Twin Lakes Velo Café - Croston
Cyling themed café situated next to a fishing lake in Croston. Loads of outdoor seating on a sunny day. The inside has lots of cycling memorabilia and they serve up a good size menu of sweet treats, toasties, sandwiches etc.
Distance from Kay Street, Rawtenstall: 32m / 51km
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.
