The plan.
Leave Cheesefoot Head car park through the pedestrian gate. Follow the path beside the A272 to the South Downs Way junction.
Stay on this side of the road. Turn right onto the signed South Downs Way towards Temple Valley.
Continue past the gates and woodland. Beyond the cottage, find the roastery on the right.
Return along the same path. Allow about 25 minutes each way; pause at the roastery when open.
Before you go.
Use footwear suited to countryside paths. The return is part of the walk, so leave time for it as well as your stop. Conditions vary with the weather; check the linked guide and current mapping before setting out.

Make time for coffee.
Our Temple Valley roastery is just a few steps off the South Downs Way. This walk brings you to the roastery, rather than relying on the truck being at the car park. Check Visit Us for current locations and opening information before planning your stop.
Follow signed public paths and current diversions. Keep dogs under control, respect crops and private woodland, and leave gates as you find them. Check Hampshire’s rights-of-way map before setting out. Temporary festival arrangements can change local access.
