Cafes and Tea Shops

Visit one of the most historic buildings in Gainford to enjoy tempting refreshments in the site of the old Academy where Stan Laurel was a pupil. The calm and peaceful interior is the perfect venue for that post-walk coffee and cake! Enjoy a light lunch or something more filling. Whatever you fancy, relax in the calm and beautifully restored building.
