The Bakewell Bunny Trail. Join us this weekend for this free family activity

Welcome to Bakewell

Bakewell is best known not only for its puddings and tarts but for its independent shops, beautiful surrounding scenery and Monday market. It is also known for the many varied events held throughout the year, the Monsal trail, quaint courtyards with their many cafes and eateries and much more…

Set in the centre of the Peak District and close to Chatsworth House, it is ideal for a base for sightseeing, photography and outdoor activities.

The Monsal Trail is situated within walking distance of the town centre and offers traffic-free walking, cycling and horse riding taking in some beautiful scenery along the way.
