Bakewell Holidays

Bakewell at a Glance

Considered the ancient capital of the Peak, Bakewell is a beautiful market town that is full of history. Surrounded by gorgeous countryside, many will be forgiven for not knowing there was more to Bakewell than its famous puddings. Like much of the Peak District, Bakewell has maintained its traditional charm but has succeeded in keeping up with modern life.

Bakewell Highlights

• Bakewell is a fantastic gateway to some brilliant places in the Peak District. The Arbor Low Stone Circle is just around the corner while the beautiful Chatsworth House and Gardens is worth the short drive.
• For something a bit more modern head to nearby Alton Towers theme park or take a cable car ride up to the Heights of Abraham. The surrounding area is ideal for walkers and cyclists looking for a place to stretch their legs and explore.
• Bakewell certainly lives up to its name as a market town as stalls are set up nearly every day of the week. Check the local calendar to find out which ones are in town, the arts and craft and local produce markets are regulars.
• A trip to Bakewell is not complete without sampling one of its famous Bakewell Tarts. For something savoury head to one of the country inns for some hearty pub grub or make a trip to one of the posher hotels for a meal to splash out on.
• Evenings in Bakewell are peaceful and relaxing. The beautiful views are enjoyed best with some local ale. Take a night stroll around the town and watch the sun set over the Peak District.
