Coombe Country Park

Today is City Daily Photo Theme Day -
Scenes from Cafés or Coffee Houses
I have chosen a place we visit more than
once a week - located in beautiful Coombe Country Park.
From the car park you will see the Visitors Centre
(and, if you follow this blog, you'll recognise the
'oak tree' I photograph often on the left in the distance
in a Tree Series).

The entrance to Herons Café is just inside the
Visitors Centre on your right (below).
We were there yesterday after a long walk around the park
in the rain. We always stop here for hot chocolate or coffee.
If you fancy something more substantial, you can choose from
a full menu. Everyone is friendly and helpful too!

All warm now, so back to the car.

You'll see Coombe Abbey Hotel
further down the drive...
PS. If it had been a nicer day,
those tables and chairs (below) would be
outside. Next time, I'm sure!

A hot chocolate after a walk in the rain - perfect.
The park does look like a delightful place for a walk, even in such weather, and no doubt the cafe is welcome after that walk!
Long walks in the rain? Aren't you the brave ones! Something hot afterward would definitely be needed.
Lovely shots!
Really nice set of photos, Lauren.
That really does look like a wonderful place to visit.
wonderful photos lol!!
That is some park. And I like that restaurant a lot, too. Your photos are very special and exude your affection for this place!
Must be fantastic in the summer!
A great place to go whatever the weather is like! I love your header by the way. That ruined church is just so beautiful.
On a sunny day this would be a great place!
A perfect place to rest after a lovely walk in the park.
Nice atmosphere. When I look at your husband, it's almost if I see myself!
What lovely place tucked away at that visitor centre!
Smiled when I spotted the 'brolly', haven't heard that word in some time. ;-)
Thank you for sharing your café world with us,
Merisi
Herons are one of my favorite birds, so I'd definitely try this cafe!
Hope the weahetr is indeed nicer the next time your there. I bet it's wonderful to sit outdoors!
I must say I'm not surprised that your favourite cafe is in Coombe Park Lauren, perfect after a long walk around the park and in summer sitting outside would be fab. I have a couple of well frequented cafes I go to where they don't even have to ask what I want when I walk in, is it the same for you here? :)
