Bakewell is in the heart of the Peak District National Park. You can walk from Church Cottage's front door down the river valley to Haddon Hall or over the hills to Chatsworth Park. The Cottage is in the middle of village, directly opposite the lovely old parish church. The Peak Park Information office is in the middle of the town - next door to Ye Olde Original Bakewell Pudding shop.

Bakewell is a maze of little streets and shopping squares with lovely short walks for the evenings through the water meadows and round the backs of the old houses. Monday is market day and very busy with a big open air market of stalls in the square from 7.30 in the morning to mid afternoon. There are French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and British restaurants for your evening meals and dozens of tea shops for mid afternoon breaks and pubs and delis serving food all day. A short car journey will take you to Eyam, the Plague Village, or Castletons caves, or the Chatsworth estate villages of Endsor, Pilsey and Beeley or to any number of wonderful villages, walks and fabulous views.

A list of bike trails is also available at the Peak Information Office with information about hiring cycles for day trips on the Tissington Trail. For the younger end of the family there is Gullivers Kingdom in Matlock Bath or a cable car ride to the Heights of Abraham.
