Bakewell

No trip to the Peak District is complete without a visit to Bakewell, home of the famous Bakewell Tart, a delicious pudding involving egg custard, almonds and apricot jam.

But Bakewell is definitely not just about the pudding - it offers meandering cobbled streets amongst old buildings of honey-coloured stone which house quirky shops and lots of restaurants.

Our Bakewell highlights included a visit to Thornbridge Barrel Room to taste some fabulous craft beer - and of course to buy some - a pub lunch and a meander along the River Wye which is a major tributary of the Derwent River.

Some serious beer tasting going on here - Lauren's depth of concentration is particularly impressive.
A bit of history - Thornbridge Brewery was founded at Thornbridge Hall, an old country house near Bakewell.
