Station Tea Rooms Holmsley Walking Routes – The Old Station Tea Rooms Holmsley

The walk is mostly gravel but subject to quite a bit of waterlogging, so wellington boots or waterproof footwear are advisable.Facing three months of minimal trade, Mr Jensen scrapped plans for a refurbishment of the tea rooms.

Tea Rooms Holmsley, Burley Breakfast Menu - The Old Station Tea Rooms Holmsley, Burley

Refreshments:The whole point of our walk was to visit The Old Station Tearooms in Holmsley, which is well worth a visit. Dogs aren’t allowed in the cafe, but there’s plenty of seating outside, with some undercover. The trail passes along a disused railway line from Burley to Holmsley Tea Rooms which is in the old disused station. There are still a few remnants of the railway which are interesting features. To allow the work to take place, the A35 has been closed in both directions, as has the C10, which runs underneath the main road, for months.I don't mind paying for what I consume if it is more expensive but I don't like business taking the mikey like this. Not everyone drinks tea or coffee. I also asked if we could swap out for soft drinks of the same price from the menu and that was a categorical "no". The Old Station tea rooms, or Holmsley Tearooms as many people know it, is very pleasant, bright and clean inside with plenty of room. The new line was heavily promoted by Charles Castleman, a prominent local solicitor who saw the benefit and potential of the expanding rail network. Its winding route, taking in local market towns, earned it the name “The Corkscrew”, something is is still known as today. The line gained popularity in the early 1900’s with commuters and families alike, and was also an important freight depot for the transport of local wood for construction of Welsh coal mines. Follow it for half a mile and go beneath two railway bridges. About 400 metres beyond the second bridge turn right along the road to Setthorns and Burley. After approx 500 metres turn right at the sign for Longslade View car park. People are trying to get here but it is 10 or 15 miles out the way and an extra half an hour to get here."

For me and the business here, when we get to Mother's Day it means we have survived another year because the winter is quiet.Unfortunately when I was eating the scone I pulled out a sizeable piece of plastic wrapping that had been baked into it. In 1899 Robert Louis Stephenson, who was a local resident, cast Holmsley Station as ‘Browndean’ the fictional station in his novel ‘The Wrong Box’. On the way out we were tempted by the amazing looking sweet treats and ended up buying a lemon meringue pie & banoffee pie to take away... with us. The business owner, who employees six full-time and around half a dozen part-time staff, said Mother's Day was the busiest day in the year. Hampshire County Council has said "special provision will be made" on March 27 to make it easier for customers. The road closures are due to come to an end on April 8.
