Bakewell
Local highlightHandsome market town on the Wye, famous pudding.
Bakewell is the Peak District’s only true market town, set where an arched medieval bridge crosses the Wye. It gave its name to the Bakewell pudding, a pastry case of jam under an almond-rich egg filling that several shops still claim to bake to the original recipe. Monday is market day, and the town makes the busiest base in the central Peak.
