Bakewell Cottages
Bakewell is a small market town in Derbyshire. Set in the
Peak District National Park, it is surrounded by densely wooded hills which stretch to high windswept moorland - it is a highly suitable destination for those seeking to get away from it all. For information regarding Bakewell cottages see our accommodation information below.
Dating back to Saxon times, Bakewell has a selection of notable historic landmarks; its arched and buttressed bridge is over 700 years old and spans the
River Wye. The Old Market Hall, which is still used today dates back to the 17th century and exemplifies the slightly unusual brownstone buildings found throughout the town. All Saints Parish Church, with its octagonal tower is another notable attraction and was originally built in the 13th century. It still retains fragments of Saxon and Norman stonework.
The local market takes place on Mondays and is held at two sites; the agriculture building which hosts the cattle market and the town centre where a stall market is held. Other events take place all through the year including the popular Bakewell Show and Carnival Week held in July.
Bakewell has a wide range of pubs, restaurants and shops in the town centre as well as good accommodation. Cottages offer an original alternative and are available through the link below. Our selection of Bakewell cottages below can be found at Cottages 4 You.
