With the last few weeks of summer ahead, now is the time to make the most of outdoor seating before the darker nights and winter weather hit.
This is not an ordered or exhaustive list, just some highly recommended spots...

Fables Coffee House and Cake Bar of Edwinstowe High Street was a highly recommended eatery with a great outdoor seating area.
