Bakewell is a picturesque historical market town in the heart of the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire famed for its Bakewell Puddings, Bakewell Tarts, and Mr Kipling''s Cherry Bakewells. (The latter being only 'inspired' by Bakewell rather than made in Bakewell) There are several shops claiming to hold the original recipe although Id recommend on the main road because of the quality of goods, friendly staff, traditional authenticity of the place and the wonderful smell of baking that comes from it. So be sure to try at least one Bakewell pudding whilst youre here.
It is an immensely popular destination for weekend visits because of its beautiful Peak District location, and its "typical country town" feel.
