Ask most people what they know about Bakewell & it’s surely the Bakewell pudding. Bakewell is a very popular tourist attraction & its streets are busy whatever time of year. 

 

Bakewell was granted its market charter in 1254. With a population of around 4000, known locally as the “Capital of the Peak” the town lies approximately 7 miles & about 15 minutes drive from The Old Toffee Shop, Tideswell. Regular bus routes link directly between Tideswell & Bakewell meaning you can leave your car at home for the day out.
