Meet up at the lower barn is the traditional approach. There is parking around there.
Rivi has plenty of cafes - you could see if you can do a tour of all of them. Start at Lower barn, over to the bowling green, then the Village Green Tea Room, then Spring Cottage (fancy!). Head up towards the gardens, and stop in at the old toilet block which now does excellent coffee. Pop up the pike, and then back down to the Snak shack. Get plenty at the shack, as you have a bit of a trek over to the horse box doing coffee and cake at Walker Fold. Head towards Lotties, passing the farm ice-cream shop on the way, and Wilton Arms. Over the top of Winter hill again (maybe stop in the Black Dog), and then back down and across the reservoir to the final stop at Rivington Brew Co tap house, for craft beer and a wood fired pizza.
