Stansted Park will host one of the stop-offs on the Classic Rides at Eroica Britannia 2022. If you want a preview, ride to the Pavilion Tearoom in the beautiful Walled Garden.

Right besides the South Downs Way – a hugely popular route with off-road cyclists – sits the Flint Barn Café. Open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays and weekends, the café is based in an old dairy farm on the Cowdray Estate. Expect a wide selection of cakes and treats, with plenty of choice for vegans. A warming bowl of soup is ideal for mid-ride refuelling on a cold day.
If you're cycling to the coast rather than the hills, head down to Billy's on the Beach in Bracklesham Bay. It's great for seafood. Moules frites may seem extravagant on a bike ride, but why not? Otherwise enjoy a toastie on the beach, or if you favour something sweeter, try one of the homemade pancakes.

With its antique shops and the beautiful Petworth House and Park, the small market town of Petworth packs in so much culture and history. It's also well served if you need somewhere to refuel on the bike. Drop by Tiffin's Tea Rooms for locally sourced food and delicious tea and coffee.
