Advantages: A Nice Place to Visit

Disadvantages: None Really!

Bakewell - Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave!

Where Is It? - Follow the A6 to the north of Matlock. The A6 runs right through the centre of Bakewell, with car parking clearly sign posted to the south of the town centre.

If you are using satellite navigation then try using postcode DE45 1AH - this should take you straight to the main pay & display car park to the south of the town, which is in easy walking distance from the main shops.

Where can I Park? - There are two main car parks, one is summarised above and is situated to the south of the town. The other is to the south-east / east. Both are quite clearly sign posted although I would avoid going into the centre as parking is tight and always crowded!

What is There to See/Do?- Bakewell is a great place to stroll around whether you are making a day of it or just stopping off for a bite to eat whilst passing through. The river which winds through the middle has plenty of benches and an ever-present ice cream van!

The famous Bakewell pudding is this town's most famous creation, with several shops claiming to be the proud owner of the original recipe!

As an alternative, there is an amazing Austrian sausage and tea/coffee shop tucked away near the centre of Town. It's seemingly never crowded but the food and drink on sale are amazing!

After you have refuelled you can take a wander around the many shops in Bakewell. If you are lucky you may also be able to visit the regular farmer's markets which are a delight for food & drink fans!

Summary: Well Worth a Stop!
