Bakewell is famous for its weekly markets that started all the way back in the 13th century, in those days there were very few shops and so if a person wished to buy or sell anything they had to go to the market to trade. Soon it became a flourishing market town where people from all over flocked to visit.

The town of Bakewell has been named one of England's best small towns to live in. The settlement, famous for its Pudding, has been singled out in a list by UK property finder company Garrington, for its location within the Peak District National Park, but that it is “by no means a backwater”.

During the late 17th Century the Duke of Rutland decided to develop Bakewell as a Spa town to rival nearly Buxton and built a Bath House above a chalybeate spring in the town centre.

Bakewell really is a little gem of a village in the heart of the glorious Peak District.
