Bakewell is a small town situated in the Peak District. It is famous for its Bakewell Puddings.....not to be mistaken for Bakewell tarts that you can buy anywhere in England, the puddings are quite different. Bakewell is an excellent place to visit if you are in the South Yorkshire, Derbyshire area. Its location means that it is possible to visit many more places around this area by taking only a short car journey, for example 30 mins drive and you are in Matlock, Buxton, Castleton etc etc.
Here can get quite busy at the weekends with most of the tourists coming from Sheffield and surrounding areas, there is ample car parking spaces and enough local shops, pubs and tea shops to keep every one entertained and served.
Bakewell is dominated by a beautiful river running through the center, in the photos on my pages you can see this and the old style bridge crossing the river. Here you can take a short leasurly stroll, have a sit down and feed the ducks or just simply watch the fish.
Bakewell is not a place where you will be dashing around, just take your time and relax there. |

The Well Dressing is very pretty. I bet is smells good too. It is hard to believe it is made of flowers. Is there a recipe for the Bakewell pudding? | craic Sun Oct 3, 2004 15:57 UTC
