Bakewell, Peak District

Welcome to Bakewell, The Peak District

Bakewell may, perhaps, be best known for its famous Bakewell pudding – and no doubt that is what attracts many tourists – but the town has much more to offer than this tasty culinary treat.

Situated on the banks of the river Wye in the Derbyshire White Peaks (Peak District National Park), Bakewell offers a charming day out full of rich heritage and tradition. There is so much to see and do it is little wonder that visitors flock to it in great numbers year after year. Surrounded by glorious countryside, the town offers charming tea rooms set in cosy courtyards, impressive stone buildings, a traditional weekly market, a quaint five-arched bridge that goes back to Roman times, a Grade I listed church, a museum, historic almshouses, and various riverside attractions.
