Location
Bakewell has been voted the second best town in Britain by the Times, and is the quintessential English market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, deriving its name from 'Beadeca's Well'.
It is the only town included in the Peak District National Park, and is well known for the local confection Bakewell Pudding (often mistaken for the Bakewell Tart).
Situated inside the Peak District National Park, Bakewell is surrounded by some of the most stunning countryside in the world. It's a heaven for walkers, cyclists, fishermen and just about everyone who loves the outdoors.
