Great place for a hot drink after a walk around Townley Park only outside tables, but pleasant surroundings, and you park your car for £2 all day you can pay cash or by the app

Great cappuccino and always a good variety of cakes. Joyce and Jean are always very welcoming and it is a pleasure to have a chat and catch up. They are a valuable part of our park experience.

Rotunda in the park is a great place for a slice of cake and a hot or cold drink all at reasonable prices. Pity there is only one outside table but in saying that there are picnic benches nearby anyway

Great wee shop where ye can grab a quick coffee and a bite to eat, from sandwiches to cake slices all at a nice price too. The view from the seating areas allows ye to see nearly all of townley, so nice place to go on a walk on a sunny day.
