Welcome to Bakewell

Bakewell is a small market town located in the Derbyshire Dales, England. It is situated on the River Wye and is known for its picturesque scenery, historic buildings, and delicious Bakewell pudding. The town is surrounded by rolling hills and is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Bakewell is also home to several notable landmarks, including the All Saints Church, the Old House Museum, and the Bakewell Bridge.

One of the most famous attractions in Bakewell is the Bakewell pudding. This delicious dessert is made with a flaky pastry base, a layer of jam, and a filling made from eggs, sugar, and almonds. The pudding is said to have been invented by accident in the 19th century when a cook at the Rutland Arms Hotel mixed up the ingredients for a tart. Today, visitors to Bakewell can sample the pudding at several local bakeries and cafes.

Bakewell is also known for its annual Bakewell Show, which takes place in August. The show is one of the largest agricultural events in the country and features livestock competitions, craft displays, and a variety of entertainment. Visitors can also enjoy traditional fairground rides, food stalls, and live music. The Bakewell Show is a great way to experience the local culture and traditions of the town and is a must-see for anyone visiting Bakewell.
