The Café is situated on the National Cycle Networks Route 7, which is where the name originates from. The sections of Route 7 between Sunderland and Inverness take in breath-taking views of forests, hills and lochs. It is over 540 miles long and passes through two National Parks before arriving in the Scottish Highlands at Inverness. It has sections in two spectacular National Parks: Loch Lomond & the Trossachs and Cairngorms. It also forms part the famous Sea to Sea cycle route and includes almost 35 miles of traffic-free cycling between Sunderland, Stanley, Consett and Parkhead including the Consett and Sunderland Railway path.
