Next on our agenda was a stop at The Bridges Tea Room in Bradford-on-Avon which is also included on the 'must visit' list of tea rooms. The village of Bradford-on-Avon has narrow streets, historic buildings and charming architecture. When we asked about the location of the tea room, they told us to walk across the bridge and look for the building that appears to be falling down. We found it!
In its former life, the building was a blacksmith's cottage dating back to 1502. Now housing the tea room, they proudly advertise that they are double winners of the UK's top tea rooms receiving a 'near perfect' score awarded by the prestigious UK Tea Council.
Vintage charm in every nook and corner. We were ushered up to the second floor where our waitress, dressed in Victorian costume, took our order.

What a wonderful tea room ! Thanks for sharing!
I need to go back to this tea room. We loved the location, but our experience was not good in 2008.
I've seen this one written about somewhere. It looks very charming! What a great trip you had. One question. Did you miss...................hamburgers?
I added this one to my list. Thanks as always for sharing!
Oh how I would love exploring the nooks and crannies of this tea shop. It looks amazing!
Fun to see my family having tea! I
This looks like such a charming tea room, and the cake and clotted cream look so dreamy, I can just imagine how delicious they were — especially in that environment! 1502? Kind of makes me wonder why we call anything "old" here in the U.S.!
