Bakewell

Bakewell is a picturesque historical market town in the heart of the Peak District|Peak District National Park, Derbyshire famed for its Bakewell Puddings and Bakewell Tarts. There are several shops claiming to hold the 'original recipe' although I'd recommend ngshop.co.uk/ The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop on the primary street because of the quality of goods, friendly staff, 'traditional authenticity' of the place and the wonderful smell of baking that comes from it. So be sure to try at least one Bakewell pudding whilst you're here. It is an immensely popular destination for weekend visits because of its beautiful Peak District location and its "typical country town" feel.

Go Next

Bakewell is the local centre, so has very good connections with local towns and villages (lots of small buses). It is located in superbly beautiful limestone ("White Peak") scenery: green fields, stone walls, sheep, rounded hills topped by horizontal lines of limestone crags. Some of the best walking country in England, makes local places easily accessible on an afternoon stroll.

• Many, many nearby villages nearly all worth a trip by bus or vehicle or on foot and most have a pub or tea shop. Examples include Over Haddon, Monyash, Ashford in the Water and Youlgr(e)ave with two names.
• Matlock is 15 minutes by vehicle and there are also buses and a steam train from Rowsley. Another Peak District town, a little less cute than Bakewell (preferred by some because of that), with usual shops and pubs and a friendly riverside town park with a little lake (try lawn bowls – "Crown Green Bowling").
• Matlock Bath is just beyond Matlock. Strange "seaside" feel, almost as far inland as you can get in England, cable cars to hilltop caves and popular meeting place for motorcyclists at the weekend, worth visiting to see hundreds of bikes lined up along the main street.
• Cromford is a mile beyond Matlock Bath. A tiny town in a green setting, yet its main draw is "Arkwright's Mill" from the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and the first large factory (water-powered cotton spinning mill) in the modern world. Also the Cromford Canal is a lovely waterway in a very rural setting – but not yet reconnected to the English canal network, so few boats.
