Bakewell’s Attractions

The Holly Cottage is situated only three miles away from Bakewell, which is easily accessible by public transport or by a relaxed walk through quiet lanes if you would prefer.
Bakewell is a small market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, deriving its name from ‘Beadeca’s Well’ meaning Bath-well. It is the only town included in the Peak District National Park, and is well known for the local confection Bakewell Pudding.
Bakewell attracts many domestic and international tourists. Monday is a particularly popular day for visitors as this is the day that the traditional market is held in the town. The cattle market is housed in a new purpose built agricultural centre, across the river from the main part of the town. A medium sized stall market is held in the town centre. There is a picturesque public park, alongside the River Wye, which has its source in nearby Buxton. For a town of its size, it has a very large town centre. This is mainly because of the touristic nature of the town.
